 This package brings a very low benefit and create very bad issues.

 Broken SCL build: ​https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1301358

 Even if SCL are not allowed in Fedora, this is a huge blocker for some of
 us (working on RHSCL or CentOS-SCL)

 More, the spec file in EPEL can now be incompatible with RHEL / CentOS
 build system (where these macros don't exists).

 If really you want such things, please open a RH bug to have them include
 upstream.

 Having such workaround only in EPEL seems a terrible bad idea.

Comment (by tibbs):

 Wouldn't it be better fo try and fix any issues rather than just dropping
 things without any investigation at all.  We don't even know where the
 actual problem lies.  I've tried to reproduce the failure indicated in
 that ticket and I can't.

 And your "low benefit" statement is not objective.  I believe it brings a
 useful benefit, as do many other people who have thanked me for doing this
 work.  But I'm not able to test it against any package which someone may
 wish to build, and even when given an example I'm still not able to
 reproduce it.  I left the package in testing for an extra-long time and
 discussed the whole issue on EPEL-devel and the at an EPSCo meeting.  I
 believe I performed a reasonable amount of due diligence, and I'm here to
 fix any bugs that appear.

Comment (by daveisfera):

 Yes, please try to resolve this issue rather than just reverting this very
 nice improvement.
