And that's what should be reported as a bug. My apologies for a lack of

Good. I think that to ensure complete switchover to CentOS, Scientific
Linux, or RHEL, you'll really need to do a "yum reinstall" on every
single package, not just rely on "yum distro-sync"
It is unfortunate that even with EL7 it seems to not be doing exactly
what it says it is going to do; I would personally prefer a 'distro-sync
force' that would reinstall everything from the selected repos no matter
what, but a 'yum reinstall \*' does pretty much the same thing. That
last command, though, will try to reinstall all packages, even those
from local sources that aren't in any repo; --skip-broken can help yum
flow through those, though.
Before a full yum reinstall I would back up all configuration files.
