According to this link, drbd 8 is the "stable" one and 8.2 is still in
development.

Sounds like just what I need - it (8.0) works for me, stable, and gets

So now - more of a "yum" question - what can I put in some file to prevent
yum from trying to upgrade drbd8 to drbd82 for now?

Thanks very much for your reply.
