This bz has been sitting around for over 4 months now and is the only
obvious remaining case where an epel package stomps on a base RHEL6
package - perhaps someone can clean it up now too?

Done.
The following packages in epel currently have the same version as
the
same package in RHEL6 which can and does cause issues when the RHEL6
package isn't installed already. New installs and dependencies pull in
the epel versions in a "defaultish" configuration. I don't see what
purpose they really serve being in epel so if some of them can be
removed that would be swell too.
Some of these may be there for other arch support. Ie, RHEL only shipps
them on x86_64, but we need them for i686 and ppc in order to support
EPEL packages on those arches.
I'm not sure how to tell that unless we also filter out those packages
only shipped on x86_64 from the list.
