+1 what Alex said.
It's kind of wrong, but CentOS7 has such a large install base (generally
and for Cloudstack, too) that I feel deprecating it right away would be
a mistake.

I'd like if we keep EL7 for at least one more version, the transition
path out of that is clear now but many cloud operators haven't replaced
it yet.
On the rest +1
