EPEL packages are not to replace packages in RHEL so of those we could maybe
include JBoss.
+1 (including the maybe)
though things get murky when it comes to Red Hat add on's
Exactly...
Not sure, maybe the compromise needs to be something like this:
---
EPEL Packages must not replace or conflict(¹) with Packages from it's

released in the same timeframe as the RHEL-Release.

"Conflict:" usage in RPM (that's another discussion for later)
