The Fedora maintainer has odd desires for the package. This is sad for
Fedora, but we are not going to keep following the Fedora package in
EPEL, so we are going with a new, easier to manage version. 

The Fedora version is likely going to stay the same unless someone can
convince the maintainer there to step down.

Yeah, I would think so. 

Do you have any thoughts/patches for getting amavisd-new working with
the new clamav? Perhaps looking at some of the other 3rd party repos
could help us here. I know one of the amavisd-new maintainers was going
to look into it, but I don't think he's had time yet. ;( 

Also, there is no amavisd-new pushed in epel6 yet, so we could push
clamav now, and push the fixed amavisd-new as soon as it's ready, no?
