The only issue with this is that now for every package that differs 
depending on the rails version it depends on, we will need two packages 
in EPEL. This is potentially alot of duplicate packages. Would simply 
updating those said packages and rails itself to rails 3.0.x work? Is 
there a deadline for EPEL packages that we need to contend with?
