Is that because they overlap with RHEL packages? It should still be
acceptable to package them as a module in EPEL.
Yes, they overlap with a) layered products (RHGS, RHCS) that Red Hat ships _on_ RHEL, and b) subsets of those layered products that ship _in_ RHEL; i.e. selected Ceph libraries and GlusterFS client-side packages.
And I haven't even scratched the surface of modules in Fedora or EPEL. Stephen Gallegher and I had some conversations a couple years ago when Fedora modules were new about making GlusterFS modules, but the need then for modules was unclear, and I've never looked any further into that.
