Well, I generated a test image (that I wasn't able to test myself until
now, as my Rpi3 just showed up today) yesterday and I posted the
announce/call for testers on the arm-dev list (see
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/arm-dev/2016-March/001680.html)

Machine boots fast, but wifi doesn't work, so probably need some binary
blob/firmware from broadcom (yeah, unfortunately ....) but can probably
be done (I'll have to investigate, or someone else).
So long story short : feel free to join the fun on the arm-dev list and
participate in helping CentOS on armhfp :-)
