Comment (by jperrin):
There could be discrepancies between CentOS and RHEL for provided
packages. As an example, we have some golang packages in the CentOS-7
Extras repository that are not provided in RHEL, but are needed as build
dependencies for docker. We've added these to ensure things are self-
hosting. RHEL doesn't provide them since they're only required to build,
not run the application.
This may complicate your repoclosure tests if you're checking against OS
packages as well.
