I think it's also worth considering if you want %config or
%config(noreplace) for the .repo file in the package.  We touched on this
briefly in the EPEL meeting and Ansii opened a bug to track it:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1135576

FWIW, epel-release-6 is %config(noreplace) on the repo file -- meaning it
won't overwrite user-modified repo files.  It might be worthwhile to have
%config for the initial release of epel-release-7 (specifically to ensure
that "gpgcheck=1" gets added), but after that I'd rather see it as
"noreplace".  I'll comment on the bug to see if we can get that sorted out.
