I am digging a bit into RHEL 7 roadmap info.
It seems there are statements that RHEL 7 will only support 64 bit. Is this corrent, and what for Centos 7?
Also the ARM info I found was the target is ARMv8 which is 64 bit, not the ARMv7 which is 32bit.
Any clearification is appreciated.

So goodby to 32 bit hardware. Thus RHEL/Centos 6 will be around a while longer.
Keep in mind that we have a 32bit SIG for CentOS 7. So you should be able to update if you want to.
We will have to see where the ARM talk goes. RIght now 'most' hardware is armv7, not v8.
With el6, arm was out of reach. It required too many code changes to really call it 'CentOS' as an end product. CentOS 7 seems to (per the beta and rc) require far less changes, so we'll be actively taking a look at both v7 and v8 to see what's feasible.
Redsleeve will be active for a while, thus.
