I can't imagine Red Hat going through all of the bureaucracy to issue updates and creating that much churn for their customers to add a single Provide: to a number of packages when it could be trivially done on the EPEL side for the cost of a few empty packages.
Of course, if those packages are going to rev anyway then it would certainly be nice if the extra provide could be added. The metapackage could disappear from EPEL at that point.
