The issue is that you can not get equivalent versions of CentOS modules to
Red Hat modules because the MBS versioning system uses some sort of hash to
separate builds apart. You also can not compare CentOS to Red Hat
Enterprise Linux packages using rpmdev-vercmp but have to do your own
auditing to see if they are equivalent.
