you should be able to 'yum install centos-release-scl' on a CentOS
Linux machine and get access to all the SCLs
Yeah, but if we enable that for EPEL builds, we are going to get all
SCLs right? So, people could start depending on them at runtime instead
of just install time.
I'm not opposed to devtoolset, but I don't think we want to allow
runtime scls without actual scl guidelines.
