I'd like to ask the Steering committee to consider enhancing
existing
policy documents, namely,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies
to explictly mention the case where packages migrate from epel -> rhel.

java-1.6.0-openjdk, where it recently moved into rhel, but is still
currently in epel repos. See also,

Lubomir's contention is that the upgrade path issues should be
considered a blocker to removing this from epel, ie,

My current opinion is that these are orthogonal issues, but I'm curious
what others think. What say you?
Aside from nudging this for list discussion, I added this to an agenda
page for next week's meeting:
