As SIG repos can do basically anything, including override CentOS base packages, it's not a mark to block inclusion in EPEL. They also don't necessarily map cleanly to RHEL content, either.CloudSIG repos are not created nor tested to work with EPEL.
Yet they should be. Everything should be tested and should take as much advantage of EPEL as possible, as EPEL is for almost every "regular" scientific/small,large/business/education - and whichever other names one could come up with - environment, the must-have repo. If SIGs do not start crawling out their "special" closets and do not work with EPEL tightly then the rest of us will continue to suffer constant packages conflicts. Stuff collides way too often! Or rid of EPEL altogether and just give us a consistent & stable software repositories.
Among other reasons CloudSIG support several stable releases which require different dependencies versions and EPEL is single rolling release.
