Another thing, there are packages that are spread into multiple upstream
optional channels that make it impossible to include some packages in the
distribution.

One thread here:

Releng ticket here:

As far as I know in CentOS all packages and subpackages are part of the
distribution, so this could be another reason to wait for the CentOS
release.

Just my 2c.
