But my original point was that glib2-2.36.3-5, which I see in SL7x, was

It seems that what I see as SL7x is still 7.0. The naming of the download
sites may have me confused. I'm using yumex.
I see this also with libgtop2. I currently cannot install the Mate
group because the packages in EPEL require libgtop-2.0.so.10, which is
in the package libgtop2-2.28.4-7.el7.x86_64.rpm, which in turn is only
in SL7rolling. This suggests that EPEL is built against 7rolling,
which seems like a really bad idea.
Thinking about this some more, I assume that EPEL is actually built
against the latest from TUV, so 7.1 in this case. Correct? If that is
true, then I just need to be patient and wait for SL to release 7.1. Then
the question is: how patient do I need to be?
