Add the following at the top of the Subpackages section:
{{admon/warning|Do not use subpackages for building packages for alternate python2 or alternate python3 implementations in EPEL (for instance, the python26 stack). In EPEL the need to keep the modules in lockstep is a steeper burden since we cannot break backwards compatibility in the modules for much longer than Fedora.}}
Alternate implementation:
{{admon/warning|In EPEL, there are alternate versions of the python2 and python3 stacks whereas Fedora simply has one of each. Please see the [EPEL Guidelines#python] for whether to use subpackages for those.}}
And then the use of separate src.rpm's will be in the EPEL guidelines.
Talked with EPEL steering committee. This is going in as a recommendation to the EPEL Guidelines.
