I'm less concerned with "this is Beta" or "this is GA" and more 
concerned with "this exists at all".

I'm just trying to build the RHEL7 GA internally.  I have a list of 
SRPMS I've already built.  I want a list of SRPMs listed for CentOS 7 
and I'll determine which ones I need to build.

On ftp.redhat.com I get this information with 'ls' and a diff of my 
existing list.
