There is no way an intrusive change such as this should be going
through to a stable release such as F-20, even worse for an EPEL
release. If it's deemed that a change such as this needs to go through
to a stable release due to something severe such as a security issue
it needs to announced before it happens and coordinated widely before
randomly being pushed without any details with dependent libraries and
applications.
