A few have asked when I'm going to offer CentOS 7. My reply? When it actually works with my deployment system properly and isn't a colossal buggy mess, and actually works with the software you (my customers) use (a lot of things have not announced CentOS 7 support for the same reasons I have, its a buggy mess).

I wish I could move everything to 7. I had to modify our kickstart but that is not surprising, but haven't really had any other issues.

What sort of problems have you encountered?

Do you have any examples of the CentOS 7 problems? Bug reports? I'm curious.

I'm not a CentOS admin, but I know a lot of CentOS admins. The concept of Linux distro problems is kind of foreign to me: I'm a Debian guy, the most problems we've had in the past 5 years has been pretty much just systemd (which I file away as "systemd sucks" isuses, not Debian issues).

Basically, everything they've said boils down to package deps are broken and theres no easy way to fix it, and random segfaults and kernel panics (which I have no idea why any distro would ever have this issue).
