Many CentOS-7 packages will not install because they will need dependencies
that the EL-6 does not have. The kernel is different because it is mostly
self-contained and meant to be parallel installed. In most cases, it should
result in an unbootable system because the boot is going to be
dracut+systemd bits and the EL-6 has none of that.
