Good question. Maybe someday if we could move to some sort of shared infrastructure, like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Copr or rpmfusion.org or whatever.
Rex - I'd like to help as well. I think a shared resource of some kind would definitely be the way to go. I'd like to be able to offer our users here a EL6 platform with KDE 4, but I don't want to do it if support for it might disappear. Being part of that support would help :).
Awesome, I'll start the brainstorming...
Also, any plans for migrating these from "unstable"?
Yes, once I get a little more feedback about how it is working for folks using it, good or bad. hint hint :)

Rex: I've been using kde-unstable on my SL i686 laptop pretty much since you made it available. I can't say I've explored its features, and the laptop isn't in continuous use; but I've found it much more stable and user friendly than what I had before, which was, as far as I was aware, the standard distribution. Thanks a lot.
I've mentioned my use of kde-unstable, and kernel-lt from elrepo, in several posts on the ATrpms-users, rpmfusion, MythTV and SL lists. I guess it would be good to lose the 'unstable' tag. Most el6-clone users are hoping for stability :-)
Maybe I can mention, in passing, that the mouse on my F17 box has developed twitchy and unpredictable behaviour over the last few weeks; window switching and text selection often need several attempts before they come right. I expect I'll be moving on to F18 soon, though, so it's not going to get much attention.
But yes, I like your 'unstable' el6 packages.
