[Rdo-list] Plans for heat-cfntools on EPEL7

Our problem is: how to create an image that includes heat-cfntools + its 
dependencies, and make sure that they get updated while also making
sure that no other RDO packages get updated.

Today that would be possible with a "includepkgs=heat-cfntools" in the
RDO yum repo definition, but this might break if future versions of the
package would introduce dependencies in other RDO packages.

We have had similar concerns for the cloud-init RPM in the past, where
we have alternated between EPEL6 and RDO as our upstream. It us not
obvious to us how to make that choice, so your thoughts and comments
would be much appreciated.

              thanks, cheers, Jan
