RE: RHEL7 Content Status

[Lesley Kimmel]

Simon;

I understand WHY the items weren't checked/tested I was just more curious 
if, in this case, the OVAL tests didn't yet exists because the RHEL7 content 
was still in the works and if it will be added in the future. If so is there 
an ETA on the completed content?

Thanks,

Aha.

We are definitely interested to provide OVAL for all the XCCDF Rules. 
Scap-security-guide project is under constant active development, 
however ETAs are hard to give.
