The Redsleeve project has armv5 support.  Pretty decent group of people.

But the approach taken here precludes the armv5 (and v6) architecture.  
Lots of reasons why, it seems, but this issue was beaten up a lot over 
on the Fedora-arm list years ago and Centos7-arm inherits the Fedora-arm 
work, just like Centos7-x86_64 does the Fedora-x86_64...
