a faster way (nodigest/nosignature) is to get this from

rpm -qa --nodigest --nosignature --qf='%{NAME}\t%{DISTRIBUTION}\n' |
grep 'Extras Packages for Enterp' | awk '{print $1}'

yum remove those and you should be clean. Another way to do this is the old:

yum list extras > /tmp/a
yum --disablerepo=epel --disablerepo=epel-testing > /tmp/b

compare /tmp/a and /tmp/b and you will ahve your list of packages (in
case some RPMS were installed by hand).
