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.
