This was brought up in #EPEL earlier today and I'd like to hear further
discussion from people on the list.
On the one hand. EPEL has to get installed and its not hard for people
to install both the EPEL and testing repo at the same time. Some might
argue that it discourages new contributors and new packages from being
built.
By pushing new packages, we are risking dep solving issues so our
scripts would have to be changed (yet again). Anyway, I'm right on the
line with this one (because I'm happy to enable the testing repo)
What do you the rest of you think?
