AIUI, the concern is that what is labeled/supported by the CentOS Project as 'CentOS' needs to go through the CentOS Project QA system. We simply cannot blindly accept builds from outside of the CentOS builders just on say-so. (Compare to RPMfusion et al -- putting that repo in as a default for Fedora users is more than a legal issue, it's a QA/test/build/sign/release issue.) Two possible pathways from there are: 1. Rebuild all of EPEL in cbs.centos.org for SIGs to use; make it available as an alternate repo (of just rebuilt packages); encourage people to choose EPEL otherwise without an associated QA endorsement. 2. Figure out how to test EPEL 100% against CentOS (such as Fedora's Koji builds EPEL against CentOS and runs all latest CentOS Project QA before signing and shipping.) On the latter, I only have an indication that might work -- I defer to the CentOS and EPEL experts to figure out the technical how-to. :) But once they are done & happy, I'd then be happy to sign-off on calling the result 'CentOS'.
