If you are using other 3rd party repos (Dag, RPMforge, ATrpms, ...) you
may want to review some of the related discussions, such as the threads
containing the following messages, before configuring EPEL:

http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2007-April/000696.html
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-July/084355.html
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2007-July/084398.html
http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-users/2007-August/007636.html

See also the endless and often heated discussions of repotags on
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/epel-devel-list

OTOH, I am successfully using some EPEL packages with careful attention
to the mix, and if you intend to use only EPEL as an add-on repo it
should be pretty safe.  Would be nice if EPEL played better with others.
