May I suggest getting including the Fedora and EPEL package maintainer
instead?  (Cc'ed)

I'm generally sceptic to such "external" builds.  With a Fedora
account, it's fairly easy to get those packages built in a more
controlled environment and better ensuring a trust level of these
packages.  Basically just to upload the src.rpm and you'll get it
built for all arches instantly.  There is also Fedora Copr [1] which
allows you to setup share builds in repositories hosted in the Fedora
infrastructure.

I don't know the consequences of upgrading pkcs11-helper on EL6 and
EL7, as I don't know which other packages may depend on it.  But if
the risk is low, I should be a fairly straight process of getting it
updated.

Jon: openvpn-2.3.5 depends on pkcs11-helper-1.11 for PKCS#11 smart
card support.
