As i said on IRC you should leave the bootstrapping to the maintainers who 
know how it is done. there is a multi build process to bootstrap.  We would 
never inherit from EL-5  we would be more likely to inherit from F-12 since 
thats mostly what RHEL 6 is based on. and what the cvs branches have been done 
from.

There were a bunch of packages branched that did not have F-12 branches and 
got branched from devel.  I need to write a script to work them all out and 
retire the EL-6 branch.  the package maintainers either forgot to add nobranch 
files or did not do it for some other reason.  Im assuming here that no F-12 
branch means there should be no EL-6 branch.

Anyway the people that maintain mono in EPEL should do the work.
