There never was a CentOS 7 appliance that was actually released for production. 
 There were a couple floated here years ago that were strictly experimental and 
marked as such, but they all had various problems (which is why you generally 
*don’t* want to be using them).

Part of it I suspect is in the nature of CentOS 7 itself — it is quite 
different from 6 and 5, particularly in the realm of system administration due 
to the advent of SystemD.  FWIW, I've installed Rivendell on CentOS 7 using 
this method hundreds of times — I’ve generally found it to work well.  What 
exactly does ‘picky about hardware configuration’ mean?

Cheers!
