(and you even get to keep selinux on!) The decision to not update EL 7 was intentional as there were some non-backward compatible changes that necessitate manual involvement. I didn't want to auto update the 10s of thousands of systems and deal will the fall out. I do however provide 4.X for EL 6 & 7 via my COPR: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/hobbes1069/BackupPC/ The EL7 repo file has nearly 50,000 downloads. Thanks, Richard
