hi,
We are going to need to find a way to address content in CentOS ( or well, content in EPEL ) where there are packages in centos that didnt come from rhel but are going to overlap with whats in EPEL.
Technically, this is a centos.org issue since EPEL's mandate requires them to not overlap with RHEL[1]. But with stuff going into CentOS-Extras/ and more content coming onboard from SIG's - and even from Core SIG - how are we going to address the overlap / flapping potential with EPEL ?
I am going to be pulling in cloud-init with a couple of deps, need to have these in the centos.org repos to do cloud instance builds.

[1]: I am not sure if EPEL cant overlap with base RHEL or with variants and layered products ?
EPEL is historically exremely cautios *not* to overlap with RHEL, and thus with basic CentOS. extras..... is another issue.
That's right. In my opinion, this is a CentOS issue. Fedora EPEL is not only for CentOS. Fedora EPEL packages are also for other RHEL clones like Scientific Linux or Oracle Linux.
