Apparently the CentOS board went ahead and made major changes, different from RedHat, to the release names for CentOS 7 based on a thread in centos-devel. I find no solicitations for feedback on this list, or the centos-announce list. (If I've missed one, let me know!) It's a decision I disagree with vehemently, and would have happily made my objections known had I heard. As a "customer" of CentOS, I do not participate in the centos-devel list. Obviously considering the messages cropping up on this list today, I am not alone. -- Matt Phelps System Administrator, Computation Facility Harvard - Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics mphelps at cfa.harvard.edu, http://www.cfa.harvard.edu

But if you read the announces mailing list, it seems indeed deliberate, as already said...
