This says to me that if we don't handle 64k-page compatibility in
Fedora, it just ends up falling to the EPEL people. How do they feel
about this?

And RHEL developers as well. Lets not build straw men. Its mysql we're
talking about here. The M in LAMP. Is it not inevitable that Red Hat
(And IBM?) is going to need this fixed and working anyway? Other than
this nasty bug in mysql, is there any other actual problem here?
