What about some kind of preconfigured protection of base repositories? Epel doesn't live up to their own standards of not replacing system packages:
# yum -d3 update | grep epel
--> advancecomp-1.19-1.el7.x86_64 from epel excluded (priority)
(etc.)
Isn't this something that should really be automated with some kind of scanning at the repository level (for both package and file name conflicts)?
What if some package from epel gets included by RH with an update? This happened several times in the past and epel always kept their package available, even if had a higher version number than the now official RH package.
