We are in the process of moving EPEL6 out of beta to release status. 

This means it will be/is like EPEL4/5 now, so, when you need something
added to the buildroot you will need to file a rel-eng trac ticket and
ask it be added to the buildroot override tag, or wait until the
package hits stable. 

Sorry for any trouble.
