I actually used CentOS Blog post: 
http://seven.centos.org/2014/06/centos-7-public-qa-release/ to install C7.

It says:

  Edit: Even though we don’t yet have an installable tree in place, you 
can point an existing el7beta/el7rc install to the buildlogs repo with 
the following yum repo definitions (for example 
/etc/yum.repos.d/centos-buildlogs.repo) :


[centos-qa-03]
name=CentOS Open QA – c7.00.03
baseurl=http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7.00.03/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0

[centos-qa-04]
name=CentOS Open QA – c7.00.04
baseurl=http://buildlogs.centos.org/c7.00.04/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0


Since I read something about some later trees needing older tree (can't 
remember when and for what), and seeing on official Blog that I should 
use both tree's, I just followed instructions. That, and I guess my 
admin brain kicked in and (in subconsciousness) rationalizes that 04 is 
newer then 03 and I will get latest version of packages.


Then I used post on the same Blog: 
http://seven.centos.org/2014/06/centos-7-nightly-builds-and-live-media-iso-images/ 
  to add
Repo for "latest":
http://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64-latest


Since it was late last night, and I was busy doing other things, and 
since no mention of
"These packages should ABSOLUTELY NOT be used on anything that is even
slightly important .. although, you may be able to point to a newer repo
and do something like "yum distro-sync full" to get all the new packages.

That said, be careful with these packages and don't keep/use them except
for this testing.  Once we get a stabilized tree and that is released,
then we can use that for real production things." was on official Blog, 
even tho I posted this same text on facebook post, I FORGOT ALL about it 
until I started to read these responses.

So I patched it up really quickly and my consciousness did not think 
about distro-sync.
