From #20 That been said, keeping compat location are fine for RHEL4 and RHEL5, (if this make sense to have them, but i don't think so as your repository have 0.10.6 for RHEL5 and 2.6.18 kernels)...
Let me rephrase: EPEL may need packages to be functional by itself. ivtv-firmware is missing the needed kernel module. It is possible to use ivtv-kmdl from any third part repo to use ivtv-firmware. But using ivtv-firmware alone is pointless. At this time ivtv.ko hasn't been backported for last RHEL kernels AFAIK. Note that if it was done or requested this would make the compat-location pointless. I leave the decition about epel to another reviewer anyway...
So to sum-up, if any of the people involved in the EPEL repository accept this package, i have nothing against preventing axel to own epel-4 and epel-5 branches. (just ask and i will request cvs for epel-4 and epel-5 once approved by someone else).
