well, they can't even really start until RHEL 7 is a done deal and released. Investing too much effort in porting a beta often is wasted when the final release has structural changes.
Yes, but this seems to indicate otherwise:
Within CentOS, we are going to do a CentOS7Beta1 build to match the release upsteam
The overall aim is to have as many people as possible test the rhel7 beta and file bugs at bugzilla.redhat.com; that way everyone is testing anf doing feedback against the same builds, and we all win with a better overall end result.
However, we are still going to - slowly maybe - get a CentOS-7 beta build going, so that CentOS users can start testing their depoyment strategies, start writing docs at wiki.centos.org, start doing migration testing etc so that when CentOS-7 comes around for release, its not all a big surprise.
The reason I say slowly, is because I would like to build a more open and more inclusive process that allows a larger audience to help build and promote the resulting distro. Lots of ideas at this point, the coming weeks should see some of them firm up into a process.
What I will say is : for anyone looking to get involved, start brushing up your git skills and hang out in irc #centos-devel as and when you can.
