I have been thinking about this and wondering if SCL's might be better
under Robyn's "EPIC" (Extra Packages for Infrastructure and Clouds) which
would be something that could have less rigid rules for keeping going for
12 years that would be more in line with SCL's 2-3 year lifetimes. I was
going to bring it up as a FLOCK talk to get the ball running with possible
interaction with the CentOS group (maybe joining with their SCL
operations). Does that make sense?
