EPEL-ANNOUNCE EPEL4 end of life 2012-02-29

[Kevin Fenzi]

RHEL 4 reaches End Of Life on 2012-02-29. 

Accordingly, EPEL4 will also reach End Of Life then. 

This means: 

- All existing EPEL4 builds will be moved to archives. 
- MirrorManager will be adjusted to point existing requests to the
  archive url. 
- References to EPEL4 will be removed from the wiki and other
  documentation. 
- The build system will no longer do any builds for EPEL4 branches. 
- The updates system will no longer push any updates for EPEL4. 
- EPEL will not be providing any updates or fixes for those using the
  ELS support from their upstream vendor. 

Please consider upgrading to a supported release before this deadline.
