The critique I issued multiple times somewhere else in this thread still
is the same: I don't want to give a binding vote on a "Should EPEL carry
a repotag? If yes, the technical details will be delegated to the
Packaging Committee." question at this point of time. I want to see what
burden a repotag might create for packagers before I'll feel safe to
bless repotags. So I would vote "no" to currently; but I would vote
"yes" to a question "Should we further investigate the use of a repotag
and the technical details how to realize them", as long as someone is
willing to do the investigating work.
