EPEL is a Fedora project:

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 :-)
