FWIW, we know that several of the changes in the (recently committed)
METRON-634 Mpack bug fixes and improvements, not impacting Ambari
database (PR#532)
are necessary for a smooth install on Centos7. These changes are for the
manual install wizard, but all the non-“description” changes would be needed in
the blueprint also. And for that matter the “description” changes may be
desirable for post-install config management.
Thanks,

We didn't come up with another approach Otto. I closed the PR at the time
bc I didn't think we wanted to break with Centos 6 yet, and my PR probably
would have done so. Can you elaborate on "prior capability wrt centos 6.x
work again" a bit?
