yeah, i remember this one - it was mis-released upstream iirc, and then
later moved aronud ( was it a rhev package ?? )

Yes, it appears to have been part of rhev-h.

So if it was an error, should we exclude it from the import?

I would say no if:

1. It is not maintained by CentOS

2. It was mistakenly released into the stream only once upstream, and then removed.

3. It was removed by CentOS.

Since all of those are true, I would say we do not need to import it.

It does not hurt anything to have it in git either, but I don't think it is required though.
