I don't know the answer for sure, but I think you are asking the right
question.  I haven't been watching the builds for enforcement.  Do we
need to do that?  Are we going to be constantly reminding people not to
wantonly update in EPEL?

We need to resolve this before we suddenly have a broken, sodden mess
due to people following this policy differently.
