It makes for leaner distributions, but makes rolling back the upgrades more awkward, and tracing back where the error was introduced more awkard. It's just failing completely in my CentOS 5.5 instance, even with the the "epel-5-x86_64.cfg" configuration. The problem seems to have crept in with the most recent releases in epel-testing and the EPEL packages for RHEL 6. I'm also laughing pretty hard that the EPEL versions of mock point to CentOS, not to the yum-rhn-plugin based access to RHEL repositories.
