My only response is that they will only install when you meet the
requirements and they are in the active RHEL tree, and they don't cause
closure problems there.

In RHEL, all old packages are still available to users and these don't
hurt anything also in this repo.  They are also in the 6.5 updates repo.

In testing, we needed them for some reason, so they were added.

Are they in some way causing you a problem?
