    Edit your /etc/yum.conf and add the following:
    exclude=drbd* kmod-drbd*

Thanks. I suppose that tells "yum" to avoid upgrading drbd at all. I can probably do: exclude=drbd82* kmod-drbd82* to avoide the drbd82 packages.

Can I tell yum to ignore "drbd" packages from the extras repository only, so it'll keep updating drbd 8.0 for security fixes?

Yes. Put the exclude lines in the .repo file for extras. See "man yum" for the format.
