It should be as there will always be issues where people have
Server/Desktop/etc but need something that is only included in one of
the channels. The simplest solution would be to 'rebuild' the packages
to match what is missing (or borrow them from Sci/CentOS). [...]
Should be easy afaics: get the RHEL SRPM, put the spec file in EPEL,
lower the EVR (¹), rebuild, ship.
Sounds like a plan. Can the @redhat.com people please state if that sort
of trick is acceptable for Red Hat?

accidentally. Adding a "0." preix in release should do the trick and is
