I thought that, originally, EPEL was supposed to be "Fedora Extras for RHEL"? If that's the case, compatibility would naturally be an issue, something that they need to add on top of the simple translation from Fedora to RHEL. I can definitely see why they would be reluctant to do that. OTOH, yes, it would be so nice if all repos would be 100% compatible with each other. :-) -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
