EPEL is getting a new update system (the same one Fedora uses)

[Michael DeHaan]

What this means to use is (hopefully) when Fedora gets new packages the 
main EPEL repo should not have to wait a much longer length of time 
before getting those same RPMs in the repository.

You can read more about this here:

This also means we can start using epel-testing as a true "testing" 
repo, containing updates we would like folks to test, as opposed to just 
containing the latest versions that EPEL stable was supposed to have but 
haven't updated to yet.

I haven't updated the Wiki instructions about using EPEL testing yet -- 
I'm going to wait until we actually do a push  under the new system, 
though in general if you are interested in helping test, this is good 
news, and if you are not, it's one less repo to configure and faster 
package updates for you.
