Comment (by james):

 That's not true, createrepo is very backward compatible ... so we could
 use the latest released Fedora to generate all of them (if we needed
 something higher than what is in RHEL/EPEL at that time). Thus. currently
 Fedora 9's version of createrepo could be used for everything.

 The other option is to log an RFE to get group_gz support in the RHEL-5
 version ... or, I guess, wait for RHEL-6 ... but both those options
 require much longer rollouts than we'd like, I'd think.
