Well it could become a support nightmare though at the worst case.
Well, we'd need to make sure the different packages don't get installed
at the same time. But yeah, point taken.
*If* we ever should need a *library* in EPEL that's currently part of a
layered product then it might be the best for all parties involved to
ship that library in RHEL proper, and not in the layered product.
