EPEL restructuring causing mass download

[Chris Schanzle]

Looks like the EPEL 6 and 7 repos transitioned from a flat layout of packages to the Packages/[A-z]/ layout.

Would have been nice to use hardlinks to transition.

Tough on the main mirrors and all their clients to unnecessarily re-download 150+ GB in one day...

I was working on the email mea culpa on this change. So there were
hardlinks there for several days.. but they were removed by the time I
found out about this. There were definite problems with the roll out
of this change and I apologize for that.
