has not been materially updated for over five years, because 
there is no longer any material purpose to it.

EPEL decided [was arm-wrestled to submission by @redhat's ;) ] 
to continue down the 'there can be only one' path Warren 
announced long ago in 'fedora.us'.  I disagree.  We are both

binary archives and building all the time

Red Hat as a commercial entity has much to lose from a lawsuit 
alleging contributory infringement (patented codec's, etc); 
Red Hat owns Fedora, and Red Hat owns EPEL.  End of story as

grow.
