Do "cvs up Config_EPEL.py" on the buildsys master to be able to define
in the repoprune_keepdict how many pkgs to keep in the testing repos.

For a very long time we've relied on the old defaults only: keep=1 for
development, keep=2 for stable repos, plus the kmod whitelists. So
for EPEL it has been keep=2 for *all* repos so far.
