At the last Centos dojo in Belgium I gave a talk on why the RDO repos exist, and why OpenStack packages were moved _from_ EPEL: http://www.pixelbeat.org/talks/rdo_centos/ tl;dr Packages are in preferred in base or EPEL, but due to various constraints ideally there is a repo hierarchy, including Centos SIG repos, as shown in the above talk. thanks, Pádraig.
