Do these actually need to be excluded now? I think that with recent yum (which we end up depending on anyway), if you have a package set which includes

    fedora-release
    generic-release

and then you explicitly specify to install 'generic-release', provides which generic-release can do will get used "first" and then we'd only fall back to fedora-release if there was a provide which couldn't be satisfied.

Well, upd-instroot selects "system-release" and "system-logos", and let's YUM figure out whatever is the best match. The user (or application triggering buildinstall) is not able to select the brand packages.

The same goes for mk-images(.efi), where repoquery whatprovides system-logos spits out a list (grep -v generic-logos), which using only the Fedora repositories will give you "fedora-logos". If, however, I include a repository for orangesombrero-logos -which I'm going to want to use, it'll still select fedora-logos (head -1).
