Currently the rules for EPEL are that it would not replace any packages in the mainline. Since the kernel would be a later kernel from 2.6.32 it would most likely replace it. Even if we found a way, we need to find someone who would want to maintain it. Maintain for 7 years... -- Stephen J Smoogen. "The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance."
