hmm. OK, makes sense.

I'm not suggesting that Fedora donates to/blesses CenOS builds, but rather
having CentOS-Extras closer to EPEL. I imagine for some, who use CentOS-Extra
and EPEL repos against RHEL* installs cross-listed packages would prove
"difficult".
Anyway, I'm bidding for the cause I have limited interest in: my selfish goal
was to find ways for EPEL to get more man-power to carry on. "Poaching" on the
CeonOS side seemed reasonable. And I imagine situation could be viewed in
reverse from CentOS side where they get some extra help (read: cross-
polination) from EPEL.
I'll stop there :)
