I am going to pull a Debian here:

“It’s ready when it’s ready”.

Maintaining three different distributions across multiple releases is a huge 
pain in the lower back.
Paths change across distros, bug appear in libraries of dependencies of 
dependencies on one distros and not another etc. 

So essentially the choice is betweeen a few well supported and tested distros 
and releasing for more distros with probably more bugs.

The current priority is RHEL 7. 
All other (new) distros are subordinate to that.
The overwhelming majority of our clients use RHEL or CentOS.

Then, at some later point and hopefully by the end of this year additional 
distros will be added.

In all cases, it will be the same PacketFence regardless of the base distro.
I realize some people do have valid reasons for wanting a more recent distro 
(e.g. kernel related). 
I would advise them to consider moving to CentOS or RHEL 7 if possible when it 
comes out.
It is likely to be the longest maintained version in the future and the one for 
which updates come out the fastest.

Regards,
