And the wiki does say armv7.  I guess it expects people who work and 
play with arm SOC know which ARM ver they have...

And the image at http://mirror.centos.org/altarch/7/isos/armhfp/ is for 
the RPi2.

I mean, I would like support here for the Kirkwood board, so I could run 
it on my Pogoplug.  I am running RSEL7 on it instead.

Raspberry made quite a todo about their RPi2 being armv7 as a leap 
forward in things...
