Personally I think that oversimplifies the issue a lot. There was a plea for cooperation from one side and a strong Darwinistic move from the other one. Even EPEL key steering committee members confirm themselves that they want to have only EPEL around, even before EPEL existed - the EPEL archives can show you the infinite discussion threads on that.
I don't see any departure from logical thinking if one party decides to not cooperate and drop the burden on the others that the others just turn away.
