works for me.  When we first moved community off to its own rhel5 host so we
could upgrade the rest of the app* servers there seemed to be a consensus
that we could get rid of community but datanommer might be right around the
corner so if there were no issues there might not be a burden to keeping it
up and running.

Since "just around the corner" has expired quite a few months ago and
getting pam_url built for RHEL5 is proving to be less simple than dropping
the SRPM into koji it seems quite fine to decommission it.

It's similar to the case of smolt -- an optional service that isn't being
used by many with a new service preparing to take its place somewhere in the
wings.
