Yes, at the moment it's more a less a (dumb) wrapper script that :
- rsync epel SRPMS and watch new packages
- submit those in the epel build queue (plague build farm)

We initially launched that as some people had a need for specific pkgs
from Epel for their CentOS armhfp installs (like openvpn, etc)
My hope was that it would be then be built "officially" upstream (so
Epel level) but I don't know their plan
