The issue is that if EPEL pulls out core packages every time Red
Hat decides to offer a sub-channel of supported, then there is no
need for EPEL since it will get gutted regularly. At this point we
are looking at 1/3->1/2 of EPEL having to be removed because
packages require or buildrequire items that are included in
layered products that would no longer be available to build
against. Which leads me to my first statement, that the usability
of EPEL to a layered user is much less than a base OS user.
Sorry if I've missed this answered elsewhere, but why don't the RHEL
layered products use e.g. Puppet from EPEL instead of bundling it?
