CentOS virt - Feb 2016 - When will CentOS 7.1 become available as an AWS AMI?

I am in need of some AWS instances of this version.

There are "community" instances of 7.1 but I would strongly prefer an
official release from CentOS team over trusting my base image to an unknown
publisher.
Is there any plan/projection of when CentOS will publish 7.1 to the AWS
marketplace?

CentOS 7 is the release.  There are point in time 'install collections',
like 7 (1406) (based on RHEL 7.0) .. 7 (1503) (based on RHEL 7.1), 7
(1511) (based on RHEL 7.2).

But these point releases, based on a point in time, are just a picture
of CentOS 7 at that exact point in time.  The only way we recommend
CentOS is all latest updates installed.  And no matter what version you
install, a yum update takes you to that version.  That is why we have
only one image listed.

A base 7.1 install would have several Critical security issues, and
updating to fix those issues brings you to 7.2.

Understood. I have a software vendor stating that they were not compatible with
CentOS 7.0 but were compatible with CentOS 7.1. And after performing a 'yum
update' I can see the system moves to 7.2 without any option to stay at an
earlier version but I understand the point behind this.
Thanks even though my vendor hasn't stated that they are compatible with 7.2
I would assume this to be the case.
