=== Buildroot - Add to exceptions list ===
      * Discussed the add to exception list proposal(1) that Stepan

        see if it's at all possible to do a Fedora install (including
        rpm-build), log in, and /not/ have some of these things
        installed.

"Mandate for the continuation of EPEL" -> I didn't know EPEL itself was
questioned or time limited. The EPEL Steering committee mandate was time
limited and we asked to extend it, so I assume that's what you meant?

Further: so it was extended. Thanks. But was it extended for a unlimited
time? Or just by one day, week, month, half a year, a whole year?

Sorry to be pedantic, but I just want to update
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/SteeringCommittee
properly.

My intention was for an unlimited time. Does anyone else from FESCo
disagree with that?

I recall the consensus of the meeting being that EPEL is doing great
as-is, so unlimited seems fine with me.
