EPEL is built from the tarballs, technically, though since I am not in 
control of what goes to EPEL stable vs testing (as is anyone), I choose 
to not push "testing" content to EPEL, so that people can use EPEL 
testing to get the latest -- even if EPEL has not yet rolled testing 
over to stable.   Previously this happened roughly quarterly -- it's 
more often now IIRC -- but there's still an interest in the ability to 
supply a newer "stable" than EPEL "stable" allows.

Make sense?   :)
