IMO biggest issue with dependencies will be that anything that is in the
RHEL(and is not deprecated), can't be added in to the EPEL, that would left
only vendoring/bundling as and option in some cases and complicate the
packaging. Clearly sub-optimal, but at least we could add some higher profile
packages if maintainers would be willing to maintain them.
