Just a note: I'm not using RHEL on my desktop either (but CentOS 5 is on
my gf's machine), so I don't feel really well to take those two over.

Ehhh. Sorry, but why don't we have any way to do that? EPEL ignored the
Z-Streams, thus we likely need to do the same. So where is the problem?
I'd say we get bad and ugly 0.10.9 in now and update to 0.10.20 when 5.3
comes out.
If we do that then 5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 users will not be able to install those
gstreamer packages, as these will Require the newer gstreamer packages from
RHEL-5.3, if that is ok with EPEL's guidelines, then I'm all for it.
I would find this strange though. If instead we create packages which work with
the ancient gstreamer in RHEL 5.0 - 5.2, those will *also* work with RHEL 5.3,
but doing so is going to be a major PITA.
/me still wonders if he missed something
I hope this explains it better, also please keep in mind I'm a complete EPEL noob.
