No, I don't want them dropped from the build system. I want to know
why piranha can't be packaged by EPEL for example?
Well, piranha is shipped by ScientificLinux (and probably CentOS), presumably
because the srpm is in 6Server, so you would end up with conflicts there. If
you are a paying RedHat customer and want support, presumably you would
purchase the relevant channel as well to get piranha?
