If you use the EPEL repository, please read https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-announce/2014-November/000032...

TL;DR: There are a large number of orphaned/unmaintained packages in EPEL across the 5, 6, and 7 trees. These packages will be removed from EPEL unless they are picked up by a packager. Packages that *depend* on an orphaned package will be removed as well to ensure repo-closure.

Please review the package lists to see if something you use is impacted. If you're impacted and you have the required skills, please consider taking over ownership of the package.
