Ofcourse, the fact that epel will end up rebuilding packages that are in rhel core is going to be an interesting twist - specially when pkg maintainers are different.
How can this possibly work with other 3rd party repos? Or does EPEL still not admit that other repos exist and are absolutely necessary?
The mere fact that Stephen asked here is the proof that EPEL DOES care about other repos. I also would like to point to Kevin's message ( https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2010-August/msg00158.html ) which also proves that EPEL does try to avoid creating interoperability problems [*] Please, let's focus on technical issues and not restart an useless flame war.
