I agree it's a big deal, but think it's more about 'supportability',
which is the crossroads for technical, end-user needs, business
dynamics, community capability, and so forth.

I personally *like* that Red Hat support has comfort level with
pointing customers at EPEL; I don't want that to change. To me that is
a core promise from the community to our end-users, wherever they are
from.
