Luke, I really think turning on critpath requirements for everything in
the world is going to prove to be a problem. I certainly never expected
this to hit EPEL, AFAIK Fedora QA and FESCo have no actual power to
commit to this policy for EPEL. How hard would it be to just disable
this requirement again for EPEL at least?
