My advice would be to, when (re)-installing a machine, always get the
latest distribution release. If it isn't broken, don't fix it, but if
you are fixing it, get the latest version. That's the approach that I
take.
And I have to say that EL7 is now mature and debugged enough (or at
least the bugs have well established workarounds) that is is actually
a pretty decent release. And while I still dislike systemd, it is
tolerable and livable with, even though it occassionally throws a
massive spanner into the gears in places (see my recent post on
kernel firmware loader requirements and the fallout from that).
Having said that, once the EL7 release is out of the way, the plan
is to get an automated koji farm to continuously build the latest
packages for both RS6 and RS7, which should keep it up to date as
long as the fresh src.rpms keep landing upstream. Of course there
will still be manual intervention required for packages that
require de-branding, but they are a relatively small subset.

I think I will stay on 6.x for a while and wait until it is not
supported anymore :)

All,
RedSleeve 7.1 is complete, including all updates to date.
It does not have seen much testing, although I've 5 systems running
without any issue. People who already have the alpha release
running, it
should be enough to do :
# yum update
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/7.1/RPMS-extras/redsleeve-release-7-1.el7.4.armv5tel.rpm
and another 'yum update' after that.
For those interested, the overview of issues found/resolved is here:
http://ftp.redsleeve.org/pub/el7/7.1/RS7.1_issuelog.html
Things tat are still to do:
* debranding
* signing of the packages
* newer rootfs-es for odroid and raspberrypi
* rootfs-es / install guidelines for other hardware
Enjoy,
Jacco
