Enterprise customers commonly white-list and approve certain versions of software for use in their infrastructure. Often these are older and stable versions. The new binary releases aren't approved for our use however, and the older versions available at http://imposm.org/static/rel/ have bugs on RHEL/CentOS. Building from source is often discourage.
Expected Behavior
Enterprise and general users expect to be able to install software using their preferred package manager.
Actual Behavior
Users should be able to install arbitrary versions using their package manager.
Possible Fix
I've built a one-off RPM of imposm that matched the version I needed. I've created a COPR Repo for this. This includes a SPEC file.
Omniscale should take this repository over once it works and provide multiple versions of imposm.

I'll be happy to transfer ownership.
