Hi All,
I'm working on putting some things together for a couple of the Intel boards (Edison, Jaguarboard, etc.) and was wondering if there's a standard way we should be naming things on the install media.
For the rpi2, we use 'CentOS Altarch 7 (1511) Userland for armhfp'
A lot of the Intel boards out there require a newer or otherwise non-distro kernel so I was considering titling the install media like this:
CentOS Altarch 7 (1511) Userland for x86_64
Not sure if the 'Altarch' bit applies because it's the standard x86_64 userland (no rebuilding needed).

Well, indeed pros and cons ... I'd use "Userland" to show indeed that kernel isn't the one from CentOs 7 x86_64 (like we did for armhfp) but I'd remove the AltArch tag. otoh, if that image would be produced under the AltArch SIG umbrella, it's worth keeping it in the name.
When we spoke about this - the intention of Userland was to communicate that we were going to work with or use a vendor supplied kernel ( eg. for rpi2 ) - so the experience and feature set was largely set by them, whereas CentOS provided the userland.
If we are still going to curate that kernel - we might not need that. certainly something worth talking about when we know the specifics.
Also, with all the newer kernel req's - it might be good to actually just adopt a 4.x kernel into centos-plus and go with that
