mongodb will be back in EPEL6 shortly.  it is already fixed up
centrally, likely will take a bit to prop out.  short answer was an oops
by the releng folks.  they mean to drop couchdb (which was in the ticket
from fedora-security) and had a think-o.

I also am now co-maintainer of the mongodb package for EPEL6 (and will
likely help out eith EPEL7 as well).   after this settles I'll be
looking to do an update to 2.4.10 from 2.4.6 (the latest in the 2.4
mongodb branch).  I'll email this list when it is out in epel-testing so
folks can try it out.

EPEL5 is also back for now, but it may be going away again as it does
have some lingering security issues.

from a pulp perspective should be a non issue as I think the pulp server
requires EL6 these days.  I will be checking with the EPEL users to see
if there is a EPEL5 demand and if so try and come up with a solution,
but that should be not needed by pulp folks...
