This comment bugs me to my very core since RedHat has had so little to
do with EPEL. I'm proud of this fact but it frustrates me not as a RH
employee but as someone that was a Fedora volunteer before I was hired at
RH. EPEL's steering comittee and much of the work that came to make it a
reality and what it is today was done not by RH but by volunteers. EPEL
is a team, they get support from Fedora, who gets support from RH sure.
Even the RH employees that were and are involved do a lot of it in their
free time. But EPEL is a team of people and even though it's young, i'ts a
mature organization that can and does deal with its own issues.

I know that the comment was not directed at me.
But never the less, I fear that my comment was misunderstood.
By reporting EPEL bugs against RedHat I didn't mean to imply that RedHat
is the master of EPEL - I just wanted to make sure that EPEL bugs don't
end up in CentOS' bug pool. Nothing else.
Bad wording on my side, I guess.
