I'm less worried about the people requesting the newness b/c they clearly 
want change. I'm worried about the people who run rhel b/c they fear 
change.

Perhaps they aren't likely to run epel, except it feels like they will run 
epel..... b/c it is pushed so hard by all the el6's.

I agree it is a suboptimal solution. Hey, since you work for puppetlabs - 
I have a new idea - make them maintain backward compat with 2.6 :)

That solves the problem for everyone, right?
