True but drawing it two feet to the left treats all the fuzz
consistently. If you are in the Add-Ons your package might be included
in EPEL is much easier to remember and to understand than if you are
in the Add-Ons but you aren't in the LB or the HA Add-Ons then your
package might be included in EPEL.

Consistent, easy to grok as an EPEL/RHEL user, and more flexible for
EPEL packagers.
