There isn't one EPEL package I use. I help run the group and I 'use'
the packages that are in it for the Fedora Infrastructure to run. That
goes from everything from stuff on EL6 for the ask.fedoraproject.org
to EL7 for most other things.

So (quoting you) "As EPEL is the only reason I stay in Fedora" you want to say that you are you are not interested at all Fedora but only some EL6/EPEL packages.
Is that correct?
If it is common in case of EL7/EL6 EPEL packages consumers it is perfect reason to not bother EPEL on master branch because Fedora has noting out from such end users and keeping all EL6/EL7 adjustments are only slowing down Fedora development by making specs less readable.
