In that case it is not the reason behind the change, so I am not sure
that this is valid. Indeed having a difference between EPEL and F
branches to accomodate third party repository in EPEL doesn't seems that
right (I am not saying that we shouldn't accomodate for third party
repository, but that we should do the same for that matter in EPEL and
Fedora).
Which is why I suggested talking to the maintainer first which you
trimmed out.
