Is it possible to create an "EPEL-extended" repo? That seem to be the
logical solution. Keep EPEL completely collision free and push packages
like GlusterFS into "EPEL-extended" that users can enable in the repo config.

That way RHEL customers wouldn't have to change a thing and just keep
running basic EPEL but they (and derivative distro users) can opt-in to get
the difficult stuff.
