Still, it would be good to realize what CentOS latest 7 resembles to on the side of upstream, meaning RHEL 7.x - which "x"? Hypothetically, I know that binary only distributed "something" works on RHEL 7.2. Will it be reasonable to assume it will work on my "binary compatible" CentOS? If it is CentOS 7.2, I wouldn't have trouble concluding it will work. If it is 7.1234567...
