That's far from a good reason to not fix it nevertheless. Afterall, part
of the development includes making sure the page templates generate valid
xhtml in the target environment.

With publishing packages in EPEL comes the requirement to maintain them in
EPEL many years with less or no opportunity to upgrade to a new API as
time passes by. I'm not willing to do that.

Other requirements, like createrepo-0.4.8 and its dependencies, have been
installed in violation of that "policy".
