I think that would be acceptable.  It's content rather than code so falls
under this section of the fedora packaging  guidelines:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines?rd=Packaging/Guidelines#Code_Vs_Content

Since this is for epel only, you probably want to talk to the other epel
maintainers about whether they have any issue with this plan but I don't
think it violates any Fedora Packaging Guidelines.
