Well, we would need to be strict I think for what can go into the
slipstream repo, and also it should be disabled by default in
epel-release, so only those that enable it would see those packages. 

I would think maintainers would like to have their packages in
testing/stable to reach the widest audience, and only use slipstream if
there was no other choice. 

I agree it would be more work to have another repo, possibly more than
we have people to work on at this point, but I think thats the best
solution if we can pull it off.
