"ban fedora-usermgmt from EPEL" for me is a special EPEL solution, as it 
differs from the Fedora solution.

That way lie dragons!

I'd like to avoid them -- every single rule around packaging that is 
different between Fedora and EPEL will make life harder for users and 
packagers that are active in both camps, as they have to keep different 
rule sets in mind. I'd like to avoid that as much as possible.

Unsure. Yes, in parts, no in other parts -- as Rex iirc said: there 
seems to be a lot FUD about "fedora-usermgmt" around.

If the problem if so big that you want to get is solved then please go 
and solve it in Fedora (hey, you are in the Packaging Committee!), and 
it will be solved for EPEL that way, too.

Taking a EPEL-shortcut would IMHO be plain wrong.
