That would be more or less what Ubuntu universe is doing: branch every
package in Fedora, build it once for EPEL, and then just let it rot unless a
maintainer volunteers to actually maintain it. It might be better than not
having the packages at all, but it also means that there would no longer be
any guarantee that a package in EPEL actually works and that bugs and
security issues ever get fixed.
