Should we be preventing the branching of new packages for EPEL5 at this
point? We can probably get that switch thrown in phgdb. It would be
analogous to the month of "updates but no new packages" in the (current
- 2) Fedora release.

It's probably a good idea to do that. I'd probably hazard to guess
that the flow of new packages going into EL5 target has already
slowed, and formally stopping the addition of new packages would
merely enforce the policy that Peter mentioned at the beginning of the
thread.
