For packages that overlap outside of base+optional, could we just agree to allow SRPM rebuilds with the exception that the EPEL release numbers must always be less than the official RHEL release numbers?
i.e. if we have mypackage-1.0-8.el6 in the HA channel, we can opt to repackage it in EPEL if-and-only-if the release number is 7.9 or lower (making it mypackage-1.0-7.9.el6).
That could be part of a solution but it's not all of a solution because the packages we could get from the channels can conflict with each other (mypackage-1.0-8.el6 might be in os, for instance, and mypackage-1.1-2.el6 might be in CloudForms. Or myfoo-1.0-1.el6 is in ha and myfoo-2.0-1.el6 is in RHVT).
