Well, because outside of RHEL, everyone wants remote and local builds
to have access to the same resources and not crush the servers. Since
buildroot stuff isn't going out on the mirror network (otherwise, why
would it be separate from CRB?), it's obvious we shouldn't rely on it
for packages that people should expect to be able to build and rebuild
for RHEL.

And again, by Red Hat's own sword (policy), RHEL doesn't want to ship
everything needed to build stuff, so if EPEL is intended to provide
the requisite community guarantees (reproducibly buildable), we have
to work with what RHEL gives us.
