I would suggest:

EPEL 6 packages is a complimentary and compatible add-on repository and
provides additional packages for RHEL 6 or compatible rebuilds and does not
replace any RHEL 6 packages.  EPEL is a community project maintained and
supported by volunteers (via bugzilla and mailing lists) as part of the
Fedora Project and is not commercially supported by Red Hat.
