The RC for el7 specifically omits packages that have drawn interest in
the past. A few examples of such packages would be kmail and pidgin.

kmail is ordinarily part of the kde-pim suite, but is stripped from the
final build via some 'rm' handiwork in the spec. Pidgin is omitted from
the build via a check to see if the build host is rhel. The libs are
used and included, but the binary is no longer produced.

I'm curious to know if anyone from the epel side has thought about how
these might be included. This doesn't appear to be a more
straightforward case like thunderbird, but would require some prep-work
to not overwrite core packages.

Thoughts as to how this might be accomplished?
