We should use supplementary instead of complementary. There's a 
subtle difference in the meanings: the former connotes that a thing is 
additional to the whole, whereas the latter connotes that the whole is 
not complete without the thing.

Also, Red Hat, Inc.?

Reasonable. I have made those changes. 

I also have the current revision up at: 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kevin/EPEL6_Announce_Draft
if folks would like to further edit or suggest changes. 

Thanks!

 Sure.  Will take a closer look later.  When's the cut-off for
 feedback?

Well, we were hoping to announce today, but I need to talk with Dennis
about where we are on having things ready. It might be best to just
announce tomorrow morning at this point...

Just so -- tip of the fedora to you for catching that!

 Also, Red Hat, Inc.?

+0.5, at least.

 Okay, I had a further look and the first two paragraphs were somewhat 
 redundant.  I made changes on your wiki page to the first two 
 paragraphs.  I think it reads much better now.

Excellent. Thanks for the help everyone!
