  I'm not so sure that will work.  Does the yum --exclude option match
version or release numbers?  Seth?
  Regardless, even if it does work, if you are saying that you will use
in the future to prevent EL packages from being installed, it certainly
doesn't seem like the right approach.  There is one EL package in FC1
and one in FC2 official releases, and that will likely always be the
case (were EL packages are in FC) when there is no need for them to be
different.  It's possible that they get named that way when it is
*expected* that they will be different, but turn out not to be.  But
it's really not a problem, as it's only convention, AFICS.
