Hi Rex, I'm confused if you are suggesting you'd rather I'd not be  
involved in EPEL because of my above statement?  That seems rather  
blunt and unnecessary.

The point I am trying to make is that it may be possible to write  
down a few guidelines on how repos should get along together but  
after all that is done, the amount of work to actually enforce all  
repos to follow those rules/guidelines will be near impossible.

Maybe I am blowing this out of proportion.  Has someone proposed a  
set of guidelines for repos to follow that you feel would be somewhat  
easy to enforce?
