While I generally agree I think that EPEL6 should no longer ship Drupal
5. Drupal 5 will no longer receive Security Support once Drupal 7 comes
out (which will probably be within the next couple of months) and then
you end up supporting something unsupportable for many, many years.

If someone cannot update to Drupal 6 then they should either stay on EL5
or manually exclude it from updates.
