How so?  Without an explanation I'll never learn.

It's going to continue to be a trend for EPEL.  Fedora will have new
shiny things it wants to use, but EPEL will not be able to support them
given it's lifecycle and stability goals.  Trying to constantly
"converge" the packages/policies for the sake of commonality is going to
be an ongoing battle.

So, EPEL has their own branches.  Why can't there be a differing
solution between Fedora and EPEL?
