Johnny, I am all for staying off the Internet and not doing extras. My box is on a lab subnet behind 2 levels of firewalls and NATs. SHOULD be safe; except from myself! Not much I know how to test. I CAN build some mariadb stuff and try that out, but then I need some epel tools. Well maybe not, if I copy the production db over. BIND is 'easy', provided I have a Cubieboard2 image. Nothing there but bind and httpd. sernet gets me testing a number of different things, and it DOES seem that really all I need extra is in those sernet rpms that Nicolas was so kind to build. I can stay at what I have for some time. I did back off on epel once i realized I was barking up the wrong tree; and you are right that we (ie the developers) need to get more of the basics available. I am booting with the original kernel, as the kernel update did not work, and I am not going to spend time learning how to fix this. You get me images, I will do my best to test.
