Providing them to RHEL/CentOS through EPEL is also a good idea, but I would suggest we include the older versions in EPEL as well and mirror the current stable version from EPEL in the CentOS base.

Please don't. It'd make CentOS provide something different than RHEL and then people wouldn't be able to use CentOS as a reliable testing/building environment for products built on RHEL.

I'm fine if you want to include them in a SCL or a SIG repo, just don't put it in base unless you also convince RH to do it too.
