The proper answer IMHO is to do what we planed from the start, but never realized: create per dist dirs like epel/5.1. When 5.2 ships to a "cp -al 5.1 5.2", update the builders and ship all newly build packages in the 5.2 dir. Once CentOS 5.2 is out delete the 5.1 dir. The only problem: we'd need to push security updates to both the 5.1 and 5.2 dir during the delta where CentOS catches up. BTW, we will likely cause problems for RHEL/RHN customers in any case in rare situations when RH ships updates because we don't get new RHEL update releases in advance -- thus we might now and then need a day or two to catch up in case something from EPEL needs to be build against a new updated package (firefox, pidgin, ...) from RHEL.
