Please stop spreading nonsense and read Akemi's reply above.
There is NOTHING in elrepo that conflicts with or replaces anything in
the base distro. That is a matter of POLICY as quoted by Akemi above.
If you believe there is a conflict between ANY package in the main
elrepo repository and the base distro, tell us and we will fix it
immediately.
We can't be any more clear than that.
