No, but now the final list of available packages is known and versions, so people can decide what EPEL version of something they can build and support for the next 7 years. Some packages, like fftw were in limbo or not available, so now those folks that needed that package can build out their apps. Granted this could be done on the fly as we go to, but we sort of 'lock in' to the version at stable release time, so it would be nice to give maintainers a chance to lock in to the version they want/can. > If not, I don't see any reason to wait, especially an arbitrary period > of time.
