So, I did a quick experiment and added explicit NVR package excludes
using the "lorax_exclude_packages" pass-through option.  It's a bit of a
hack, and it will stop working and/or need to be refreshed when a newer
anaconda appears in the upstream CentOS repos, but by that point our
7.1.1 downstream should be out the door and done.

Here is the change:

It seems to have worked.
