This has updated a lot of components and included some that weren't there before. EPEL tracks RHEL not CentOS, so there is always some uncertainty during these times. This is one of the reasons it's worth spending some time setting up local mirrors so that they are kept stable during these transitions. There's a lot of packages in epel-testing right now and now will probably still have to be rebuilt yet. Please file bugs if epel-testing does not already have a working package so maintainers can get notification and work on them. Remember that EPEL policy is packages at least two weeks in testing so there's still some time before many can be pushed stable - and testers are always welcome!
