We should be using koschei [1] for that. Two reasons it's a bad idea. 1 - Since Stream is be definition, changing, you will not easily know what an EPEL package is built against. 2 - EPEL and EPEL-playground packages are not built regularly. They usually tend to sit for long periods of time without any rebuild. So "building against Stream" may, or may not affect some packages, because they only get built every year or so.
