I've seen the announcement and update(s) for centos-6
(CESA-2017:2485), but I don't find anything for centos-7 yet. It
looks like RH announced them both at about the same time wednesday
and the update for centos-6 came out thursday. Is there some reason
that the update(s) for -7 haven't been pushed out?
