Waiting means RHEL users are broken _right now_.  CentOS users can skip
updating memcached, but RHEL users have to skip updating libeventd and
things that depend on it (including nfs-utils).

I guess it comes down to a question of which OS is EPEL targeted at
first, RHEL or CentOS.  CentOS will always lag behind RHEL, and
sometimes in the past has lagged significantly.  Do RHEL users have to
wait for CentOS to catch up before EPEL will update?

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
