I'm not sure about the Red Hat's stance on this, and we probably need their opinion here. For us (Fujitsu) it'll be a huge issue, as we're relying on CentOS 6 and moving to 7 *will* be a huge amount of work, not to mention that we will have to support both CentOS 6 (for existing and near-future customers) and CentOS 7 (for future customers once we make the switch). Probably inevitable, but still a huge pain. My suggestion is that the current LTS release could have more of "L" in the "LTS" than others, so companies like ours will have more time to switch and still benefit from any fixes community (including us) provide.
