what tools are these / can we reach out and help them get the right content ? this solves the problem of establishing an upstream, giving people who only need a lose knit baseline match and also giving people the centos-7 release stream that we've been building up.

Hmm, ok. Can we put that data somewhere else instead (an /etc/redhat-upstream-release file or something) and revert the redhat-release change? We can't expect everyone to run around updating their system management tools for a change in a minor point release :(
