I'm suggesting that you use 7.1.1503 instead of 7 (1503) *on the website*. I don't think that Puppet, Chef, Ansible, or any other configuration management system parses webpages. They look at things like /etc/centos-release, which is 7.1.1503, and I think that's fine. I am not suggesting that you revert to 7.1. > The CentOS-7 Base OS is still there, it is free for anyone to use, it is > being maintained as always. If you don't want to use it, great.
