My first thought was: The only other list it might move to is not a centos list -- we don't ship the package 'expressing' this behaviour, as I read the ticket ["EPEL rhnlib package"].

I think the EPEL package provides an example of the symptom, but is not directly relevant.

But if it is to a centos list, I would put this thread on centos-devel, and not the main list, which would trigger an endless quantity of side noise.

Agree that -devel would be a better venue if the discussion continues. I put it here because it seemed to be a QA issue when reported on the forums. Cross-posting to -devel, so this thread should presumably be considered closed.

I do not see mention that a bug was filed, and to the extent that forum answers by 'authoritative answerers' there do not feed the bug tracker, we hide knowledge of possible errors from ourselves by leaving it only in the forum

I didn't file one, nor encourage the OP on the forum to do so, because I was unsure where to file it. Brandon has opened:
