By the simple fact of not creating an EL-7 branch, they've already opted for "no". Most businesses still stay away of RHEL7/CentOS 7 and therefore there still is little traction for EPEL7 as well. I am pretty sure that things will change once EL5 becomes [even more] deprecated and people switch to EL 7, but more water needs to flow below the bridges first.
