Comment (by irina):

 A sub-set of these packages was distributed by RHEL 6, and was deprecated
 in 6.4. Please
 see this bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=860872

 All these packages are now distributed by product MRG. EPEL 6 packages
 will be different
 from MRG packages (very limited patches, no product level testing), and to
 eliminate any confusion,
 I will add "epel" to the NVR. We already have all these packages in EPEL
 7, and we are distributing
 MRG/RHEL 7 packages as well. I am not sure what you mean by "active" in
 RHEL 6, did you mean MRG packages
 or something else?

 Regards, Irina.
