The RC for el7 specifically omits packages that have drawn interest

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.
In the pidgin case is libpurple the main thing that gets used in RHEL?
If so but it's under the 'pidgin' namespace then maybe a -bin package
could be provided via EPEL or some other means. Alternatively it might
make sense to file a BZ to have it moved under a different package name
altogether?
kmail seems like a more simple case - build an alternate spec which
removed everything from the source tarball *except* kmail?
Just spitballing here to get the conversation started...

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?
