I would appreciate you putting up with one more serious question from
the perspective of a user. Since RHEIPA, RHSAT, RHDirServ, RHCERT,
RHWAS, and more fall into this new category and since the upstream
versions of many of those have been suggested as desirable targets for
inclusion in EPEL can you help me understand what a package conflict
means in this case? Is it a conflict at the package level? Is it a
conflict at the file level?
