In places where enterprise distributions are used there is typically a 
lot of end users running preconfigured locked down systems which might 
also have EPEL repository enabled. They wouldn't be reporting bugs or 
installing the repository themselves. I can't really be sure about 
anyone getting confused at all. I have no interest in discussing this 
further. It's upto to FESCo to make a decision.
