- the "java is now in RHEL and EPEL" issue
The EPEL team tried to work this issue out once it was known. Red Hat does not see it as critical in any way. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498967 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=499079
- how to prevent things like the java issue in the future
We need to find someone who talks to RHEL folks internally to communicate such changes to us. I have no idea at all how to find such a person. Does anyone else?
Agreed. We need a point person. We also need somebody that RH cares to listen to and understands the ecosystems of corporate customers. The repositories must play well together, and be cohesive.
