While centos-testing and centosplus repos are disabled by default, extras is shipped enabled. So, any 3rd party repo (including EPEL) must be used with proper setup (priority plugin, include/exclude lines, etc). I have added a note to the EPEL section at: http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories EPEL is generally known to not overwrite distro files, but when it starts showing conflicts with the CentOS extras repo, that needs an additional note.
