OK ... one must actually import the CentOS-7 RPM GPG key before starting
the upgrade process.  That is now in the docs on the wiki.

BUT, just as I was going to release this, Red Hat upgraded it.

So now there is a new set of packages for preupgrade-assistant and
preupgrage-assistant-contents in the testing repo.

Can we get some testing of these new packages please?
