CentOS 7.4.1708 is out current release, it is based on the source code
from RHEL 7.4.

I assume CentOS 7.4.1708 is a version released in August, and the kernel version is 4.2 based kernel-aarch64 as mentioned in the wiki page. But RHEL 7.4 for ARM64 was released in Nov, and kernel version is 4.11. So I think there should be some additional effort to keep CentOS 7.4 update to date with RHEL 7.4 for ARM64. Am I right?

You mean the kernel-4.11.0-22.el7.3.aarch64.rpm that is in our updates directory and was build on 10/28/2017?
