Maybe I'm wrong, but I felt that many people, including myself, thought 
that this was not an EPEL issue but a FPC issue and should be pushed to 
them instead.

I mean really, EPEL is not "Joe's EPEL" it is "Fedora EPEL" and if 
Fedora as a whole can't/won't adopt this proposal, why should it be our 
burden?  We are simply lower minions of the entire Fedora hierarchy 
working specifically on EPEL.

I think Axel's proposal still has merit, but the right thing is to throw 
it to FPC.  And nothing in the vote says that he can't.  In fact, I hope 
he does.
