Maybe I'm wrong, but I felt that many people, including myself, thought
that this was not an EPEL issue but a FPC issue and should be pushed to
them instead.
I mean really, EPEL is not "Joe's EPEL" it is "Fedora EPEL" and if
Fedora as a whole can't/won't adopt this proposal, why should it be our
burden? We are simply lower minions of the entire Fedora hierarchy
working specifically on EPEL.
I think Axel's proposal still has merit, but the right thing is to throw
it to FPC. And nothing in the vote says that he can't. In fact, I hope
he does.
