Again, strangely, you're trying to reassure me about the 7.2 release date, even though it's evident I'm trying to solve this problem without having to wait (otherwise I wouldn't have bothered posting here). Please note that I didn't come here for a release date and I don't expect to be given one and that's *totally* fine and expected! But "soon" and "around the corner" are vague time-frames that I don't consider helpful in this discussion. > Right.

If CentOS considers it unwise or undesirable to push libunwind to 7.1/updates then I will wait for 7.2. Users can of course "read the docs" and reach out in the appropriate support channels, but I'm just trying to do my duty as a packager and reduce any avoidable headaches that users might face. Perhaps I'm being overenthusiastic in that goal, but I'd rather be overenthusiastic than negligent (which probably all packagers are guilty of at one time or another) and at least I can say I tried my best.
