  * more discussions on the list

 * new push scripts for pushing to testing, adjust mock configs to use

  * dgilmore will take care of it

  * security will need manual handling; nirik is willing to help

  * dgilmore> | does anyone have ideas on how to get more packages in
EPEL? nirik> | I have some more I am going to do, but haven't had
time... hopefully soon I will get munin in and possibly will look at
Xfce (matching the centos extra versions so we don't conflict if possible)
