Because EPEL is not a first class citizen.

No, I prefer a repotag if everyone plays nice. If EPEL does not add a 
repotag, I don't think they should be having the advantages that we do 
play nice. Sorry, but I'm tired of the arrogance.

Apparently, if I do the request I am one person with a wish, and everyone 
by default is against it. On the other hand, RPMforge has all the RHEL 
users and EPEL has none. But that doesn't make a difference, because I am 
the only one that wants a repotag.

To summarize, if only *me* wants a repotag, than why have it at all ?

Sorry matthias, the arrogance and ignorance is tiring me off. I do not 
want special treatement, but I also do not want to opposite.

Kind regards,
