Additionally, as already explained, the goal of the ELRepo project is to 
increase the functionality of the RHEL kernel by providing kernel modules 
for broader hardware support and additional features. It makes sense that 
some users look for those packages in ELRepo (likely outside the scope of 
CentOS).

As far as I know there are no real differences between the packages, 
although the drbd83 package is renamed to drbd83-utils (iirc) and the 
ELRepo project does not provide RHEL4 packages. They should be drop-in 
replacable.
