Sorry, this was my fault. I assumed that orphaned packages are removed from the repo. But maybe this shows a proper way to deal with this issue: Create a new EPEL repo called epel-orphans or similar, disable it by default and move all orphaned packages there. Then users can still get the lastest orphaned package by enabling epel-orphans and package-cleanup --orphans can be used.
