Definitely not actually useful. Who doesn't use something from EPEL? I think the Final Paragraph summed it up perfectly.

Final Thoughts
This is the right way forward for CentOS. The old paradigm of forcing a full reinstallation of the whole operating system and all packages and the headaches that comes with is too old guard for 2014. Baby steps have been taken to bring this upgrade process into the modern age and, although currently rife with problems and issues, the process has begun. Let us know in the comments below whether you have been successful in your efforts and what particular issues you may have dealt with when you took the plunge.

Yeah, not having a stable EPEL upgrade is a problem. But we use so few EPEL packages that I'm hopefully that it isn't an issue.
