I didn't see that bug. But I guess they still apply. I had a quick grep through
the sources and found these in the vendor directories:

./lib/plugins/sfCompat10Plugin/lib/vendor: phpmailer
./lib/plugins/sfDoctrinePlugin/lib/vendor: doctrine
./lib/plugins/sfPropelPlugin/lib/vendor: phing,  propel,  propel-generator
./lib/vendor: lime

- phpmailer, phing, propel and propel-generator are already available in
Fedora. 
- doctrine isn't.
- lime is just used by symfony anyway, as far as I know. It is just one file.

Personally I think it is not a big problem, because symfony requires certain
versions of the libraries. For example if I create a doctrine package of the
current 1.1 it probably won't work with symfony 1.2. 

I would suggest bringing symfony into Fedora as is, with the plan to remove
these duplicated libraries in one of the next releases where possible. I think
this was how it was done in other packages which bundled libraries.

Then I probably would:
- remove the sfCompat10Plugin with the ancient phpmailer completely. 
- create the doctrine package, which I planned anyway.
- check if symmfony works with the fedora propel & phing packages. If it
doesn't I would remove that plugin too.
- create a patch to make symfony look at the default library locations instead
of vendor directories.

Thank god I don't have to think about EPEL, because RHEL is still stuck at PHP
5.1 .
