OK. I'm on board now with the anticipated grief source although this
exact situation causes EPEL users who want to pin their systems to Red
Hat provided packages when they exist to be caught in the crossfire
too. My interest is more about protecting those users of EPEL from
unintended support issues.
So I think you have a good plan for this case in mind.
What about the case where RHEL provides it for all arches? Are you
going to remove it from all arches in EPEL if a channel maintainer
asks for it to be removed?
I would say no, since we aren't doing that in base RHEL... but I guess
there could be some case. I just don't know off hand.
