Curious as to the reasoning behind not allowing a repository to be added through multiple component CVs of a CCV. Is it a technical limitation or a protect-me-from-myself sort of notion?
My use case:
CV "RHEL-7.2 minimal" is RHEL-7.2 with a filter of 328 explict package=version rules.
CV "virt-who" is a CV with a filter for the 8 explicit package=version rules that I need to install virt-who.
The combination of these two CVs is what I was trying to create but since they both have RHEL-7.2 repo in them they cannot be combined. Since I have the CV filter creation automated it is possible for me to make a combined CV with the combined 336 rules but that sort of defeats the work flow I envisioned.

Created RFE Feature #14238: allow composite content-views to contain overlapping repos - Katello - Foreman
If any devs know that there are underlying technical issues that would prevent this RFE, please add details. Thanks!
