I think that depends on what "better integrated" means.

Does it mean that it requires CR to be enabled?
Does it mean that it doesn't build against RHEL but CentOS (and which
channels in CentOS)? [In this case it wouldn't see the libunwind
problem until 7.2.1512 was available but would mean that RHEL users
would be stuck until that happened?]
etc etc.
