From the commit message: In newer CentOS 7 versions /etc/redhat-release says that the distro is derived from RHEL, so we need to look at /etc/centos-release for actually identifying it as CentOS.
If I understand this right, this is not a bug related to ARM images, but a general change in CentOS?

Hey Centos ARM list,
As requested via twitter today [1],
On the current Raspberry Pi 3 image the /etc/redhat-release isn't a symlink to centos-release like on x86, but a file with "Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 (Source)" [2].
This might lead to errors in the OS auto detection, like with Chef [3].
Yup, this affected libguestfs (https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/1ff463e8692aae4313bd5b42bb6f...).
IMHO it's up to Chef to fix their OS detection like we did.
Rich.
