We should block this.  When we were getting epel6 up and running I built
a python-turbojson before realizing it was in RHEL6.  We removed that from
the repo before epel6 came out of beta and I created a python-turbjson13
package with the updated python-turbojson that I needed for the TurboGears
dependency that we had.

Looks like I didn't properly retire the package in EPEL6 afterwards and
lmacken built a new version of the package today.  So we need to block this
(remembering to leave the RHEL6 version available for building from the
RHEL6 repo in koji) and I'll retire in git and pkgdb.
