The z-Streams (x.y.z) are nothing new, they existed for a longer time 
already and EPEL afaics ignores them (at least right now).

New "features" like major new Firefox/OpenOffice Versions iirc happened 
in the past already now and then. But that were just a few hand-selected 
desktop-packages. The only thing that afaics really is new in 5.2: a 
gtkhtml update broke the ABI. Okay, that changes things a bit, but it's 
just one out of thousand packages and likely a special exception (and 
such exceptions are allowed in EPEL as well).

So IMHO not much changed. And the major differences between Fedora- and 
RHEL-style are still very much obvious IMHO if one leaves those few 
special cases aside.
