Just curious - why do you feel the need to treat EPEL with extra caution? I
happen to have reversed feeling about EPEL/RPMforge. I note that out of the
box RPMforge will replace some system packages (perhaps without any
problems), something EPEL avoids.
I believe that RPMForge does not do this in SL6 - they have split
there stuff into two repos - rpmforge and rpmforge-extras
one which updates existing SL packages and one with only new packages.
