Fact: we voted against having it.
Fact: you guys continue to use it (did you vote on it?)

Guess: If we asked you guys to get rid of the Repo tag in corporation 
with us, you'd probably say no.
Fact: We haven't asked you to remove the repo tag, we respect the 
decision making process that you used to use a repo tag but we came to a 
different conclusion for EPEL.

Fact: the sky isn't falling.

If you have another problem, bring it to us and don't assume we'll be 
against you.  Obviously I can't speak for everyone but I take every 
decision seriously and based on its merit.  You're assuming this is just 
the start of EPEL completely ignoring 3rd party repos and it's just 
not.  I will say the tone of the email that started this thread is not 
one of corporation, it's one of flame baiting and instigation, knock it off.
