Correct. Some things will always be delayed or are actually never done. 
That's why I have configured priorities also for epel and suggested to 
do something like this for the centos copy.

epel 5 has about 100 and epel 6 has about 75 packages filtered out with 
respect to base by priorities. With this in mind I wasn't expecting 
anything different from epel 7. So: please forgive me for not having 
filed these and the 175 ones before.
