EPEL is a Fedora project: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL
And since it doesn't offer any list for its users, but just epel-devel-list for its contributors, one could say that talking about EPEL packages here on fedora-list is not fully off-topic. The problem with the original post is merely that it comments on lots of things that are not related to Fedora or EPEL at all. And since EPEL is built for RHEL, one could also post on the RHEL related mailing-lists about it.
As a CentOS user I would class EPEL and ATRPMS as 4th party repos, as there are guidelines on the CentOS Wiki for CentOS/RHEL friendly repos which I would class as 3rd party. As the OP has no intention of reading up on those, let us leave him to his own devices.
Good luck to the OP and anyone using 4th party repos, if anything breaks they get to keep the pieces :-)
