This is because the `kubernetes-node` package that depended on socat was 
removed from the base and thus all dependencies automatically got removed:

```
-bash-4.2# rpm -q --whatrequires socat
kubernetes-node-1.5.2-0.7.git269f928.el7.x86_64
```

Not sure if it should be added back or not, just noting why it got removed.
