I think its inevitable that we go that route. The only suggestion I would ask about is the requirements to be able to support it on RHEL/CentOS 6. Fedora 12/13 already had some introspection support so is it much different in requirements to those in the initial implementaiton as I think for long running suppor I believe there is a desire to be able to use that platform. If they are new packages we can easily add them into EPEL so that´s not too much of an issue, the issue comes is if the upstream package is in RHEL mainline that we can´t duplicate it.
