Seth, with all due respect, my understanding of EPEL is precisely

Not really. It's just building those pkgs which are not already in rhel
for it and do so in a way which complies with fedora packaging policies.
Why would you recommend against synchronization with any
distribution?
B/c there are many distros built on that base - and tying to one is
implicitly blessing ONE distro.
And I think fedora officially blessing a rebuild of rhel is going to go
over like a lead balloon.
