Fantastic. It's been bugging me having to maintain a separate repository 
for stuff that's in FE - just for EL rebuilds. And with projects like 
centos.karan.org there's obviously the interest out there.

Setting aside the technical/infrastructure issues and looking back to 
the maintenance (long-term/security) aspect, I'd be inclined to suggest 
that co-maintainership is a *requirement* for EE branches.
