I'm happy with either of these.  I would prefer to see a delay for
now, simply because there are a number of trees of packages that have
been waiting on finding out exactly what's available from RHEL6.
Chunks of our ruby and perl stacks for example.  If we can delay by
period X and get 90% built within 1 month rather than release now with
about 60% (last I looked) and it take 3 months for the next 30 because
of delays getting things into the build roots, then I think this is a
win.

I'll try to generate the numbers and reminders sooner rather than later...

For the RHEL users who want EPEL sooner rather than later maybe we
could simply symlink to the location where EPEL-6 will reside long
term?
