I have it -- well protected from prying eyes. :)

I have another question. Now that the "plus" is in the name, should we
drop the ".plus" tag? For example, the current plus kernel is in the
form of:

kernel-xxx.el6.centos.plus.x86_64

This will become:

kernel-plus-xxx.el7.centos.x86_64

One argument against omitting the .plus tag may become apparent here:

$ uname -r
3.10.0-123.el7.centos.x86_64

If/when there is, say, kernel-xen for c7, that will share the same
'uname' output as the plus kernel.

Thoughts?
