I don't think we should get in the business of guessing about our users 
until they show up :-)  I'd imagine people interested in EPEL range from 
extremely experienced admins and architects that understand the need for 
a community driven packaging repo, to people that don't realize that 
installing mandrake and SuSE RPM's on the same box is a bad thing and 
they just so happened to find us because Google said so.
