On a fully patched C7 machine...

   % cat /etc/redhat-release
   CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

   % cat /etc/os-release
   NAME="CentOS Linux"
   VERSION="7 (Core)"
   ID="centos"
   ID_LIKE="rhel fedora"
   VERSION_ID="7"
   PRETTY_NAME="CentOS Linux 7 (Core)"
   ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
   CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:centos:centos:7"
   HOME_URL="https://www.centos.org/";
   BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.centos.org/";

   CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT="CentOS-7"
   CENTOS_MANTISBT_PROJECT_VERSION="7"
   REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="centos"
   REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7"
In particular note the version ID is 7

On a RedHat machine:
   % cat /etc/redhat-release
   Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.1 (Maipo)

   % cat /etc/os-release
   NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server"
   VERSION="7.1 (Maipo)"
   ID="rhel"
   ID_LIKE="fedora"
   VERSION_ID="7.1"
   PRETTY_NAME="Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 7.1 (Maipo)"
   ANSI_COLOR="0;31"
   CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7.1:GA:server"
   HOME_URL="https://www.redhat.com/";
   BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/";

   REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"
   REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT_VERSION=7.1
   REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Red Hat Enterprise Linux"
   REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT_VERSION="7.1"

Here the version ID is 7.1; different to CentOS.

Is this a bug or is it deliberate?

Just when CentOS "7.1" was released, the content of redhat-release file was :
[root@centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (Source)

Then Karanbir corrected that, as it was not coherent with previous content, and broke some tools and scripts :
[root@centos7 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.0.1406 (Core)

It is now :
[root@centos-test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core)

I think the content of the os-release file has not been corrected accordingly, and is not coherent with RHEL. But if you read the announces mailing list, it seems indeed deliberate, as already said...
