If we did this, we would be best served with an entirely new
brand/name.

Aside from the challenges of Eh-pull/Ee-pull and acronyms in general,
there is also a brand expectation around EPEL.

EPEL is the stable, stolid, same-old-you-can-rely-upon moving at the
pace of RHEL itself.

An exciting, new, updated parallel/conflicting package set should have
a new name and identity.
