what tools are these / can we reach out and help them get the right
content ?
this solves the problem of establishing an upstream, giving people who
only need a lose knit baseline match and also giving people the centos-7
release stream that we've been building up.
At the time of 7 1406 release, this was flagged up as the biggest issue
that we need to fix from the distro side of things.
