Good point.  In this case I think the package would naturally stop 
evolving in EPEL, as the incentive for inclusion would be removed.  
However, that transition (exit?) would be purely voluntary on the part 
of the EPEL pkg maintainer ... as RH isn't going to "force" it.

Similarly, what to do if a package is included in RHEL5 but not in 
RHEL4. I would think its fair game for EPEL to build the RHEL4 version 
but not the RHEL5 version.
