Much like Fedora Legacy you may see that there is a big interest in RHEL5, and when RHEL6 comes out, and then RHEL7 the interest moves on. RHEL5 will become the RHEL2 of today. I don't see Fedora EPEL as upstream, but I may be alone in that. -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
