I can't imagine Red Hat going through all of the bureaucracy to issue
updates and creating that much churn for their customers to add a single
Provide: to a number of packages when it could be trivially done on the
EPEL side for the cost of a few empty packages.
Of course, if those packages are going to rev anyway then it would
certainly be nice if the extra provide could be added. The metapackage
could disappear from EPEL at that point.
