Problem is that these guidelines are not compliant with EL7 guidelines. I have the reverse problem that packages from EPEL7 don't build anymore on CentOS. It's putting an additional barrier for people from CentOS community, and third party repositories. I honestly think that these guidelines were a mistake, we should just have left python- prefix die with python2 and enforce versioned pythonX prefix everywhere (Qt packaging experience proved that was the only sane option). These have brought more issues that it solved (if it solved any issues at all).
