Zabbix 2.0 is out and it has some nice features. Upgrade path from 1.8 is not always without issues, but no biggie. If possible, I'd like to see Zabbix 2 coexist with zabbix 1.8 in EPEL. I'm willing to help with packaging, update scripts and/or testing if needed.
Possible workaround: http://about.me/kodai http://www.kodai74.net/packages/zabbix/zabbix-2.0/rhel/6/x86_64/ (Haven't tested)
We're working towards a 2.0 package already.
Great news, thanks!
