Makes me think that an epel-centos-stable repo, downstream of epel-stable is a good idea. When there is a new RHEL point release, epel-centos-stable would be frozen until the new CentOS point release appears. At that point it would go back to mirroring epel-stable. In this way, we could avoid the few weeks of EPEL breakage on CentOS we get every time EPEL is rebuilt for a new RHEL point release.
