Comment (by jperrin):

 There could be discrepancies between CentOS and RHEL for provided
 packages. As an example, we have some golang packages in the CentOS-7
 Extras repository that are not provided in RHEL, but are needed as build
 dependencies for docker. We've added these to ensure things are self-
 hosting. RHEL doesn't provide them since they're only required to build,
 not run the application.

 This may complicate your repoclosure tests if you're checking against OS
 packages as well.
