Comment (by stahnma):

 I'm against a new package that epel-release depends upon.

 Most people don't install epel-release with yum - at least in my
 experience. They wget it or rpm -Uvh http://blahblah.  This means that
 dependency resolution may not be in play at this time. I think this would
 break workflows for testing, and validation. (I know it would break what
 we do at Puppet Labs).

 As for the second option, I'd like to see the exact differences in a spec
 file to see how intrusive it is.

 From an ecosystem perspective, I think having no presets for EPEL packages
 feels the most right, but my perspective could be pre-systemd and
 therefore out of date.
