Very good question.
Without being a superhero, do you and/or Smooge think we have the
resources to do this?
It's sounding like the answer is no.


Honestly, I don't see us having the resources to keep the playground around. Kevin's doubts a long time ago about playground stretching resources too far were correct. The build system is highly complex and just doing plain EPEL is a strain on the Fedora volunteers. Adding the playground was an experiment and I would lean towards ending it.

Also a very good question / idea.
Any ideas on what would be a good way to ask that?
Asking on epel-devel would get some.
Asking on epel-annouce would get more, but if we did that, we'd have
to have the answers not come back to that list.
Possibly cross post to fedora-devel and/or centos-devel.
