I'm using ovirt on some centos servers, so i installed http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release35.rpm

It provides a ovirt-3.5-dependencies.repo, which contains:
[ovirt-3.5-epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch
failovermethod=priority
enabled=0
includepkgs=epel-release,python-uinput,puppet,python-lockfile,python-cpopen,python-ordereddict,python-pthreading,python-inotify,python-argparse,novnc,python-ply,python-kitchen,python-daemon,python-websockify,livecd-tools,spice-html5,mom,python-IPy,python-ioprocess,ioprocess,python-paramiko,python-crypto,python-cheetah,python-ecdsa,python-markdown,rubygem-rgen,ovirt-guest-agent,userspace-rcu,protobuf-java
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7

What's the purpose of such a repo ? Having a epel.repo is very common I think, and so the line includepkgs became totally useless with it.
If you have problem with a rpm stored in epel, this will protect only a few peoples.
