[rdo-list] Reminder as CentOS 7.4 draws near with the upcoming Pike release

Hi, Just a friendly reminder that CentOS 7.4 is knocking at our doors at about the same time as the upcoming Pike release. Content from CentOS 7.4 will start trickling down to the CentOS Continuous Release (CR) [1] repositories soon. We need to be on the look out for changes that might have an impact on the delivery of RDO. The ci.centos.org environment provides nodes with the CR repository enabled by default in order to get some testing feedback. We've also enabled the CR repository for virtual (WeIRDO) workloads that are ran from ci.centos.org in order to get us more feedback. This should hopefully allow us to catch problems as they arise in order to fix them in time for the release. The release of CentOS 7.3 was not exactly exciting and we documented the different things that impacted us [2]. I'll suggest we do the same thing for CentOS 7.4. If you see any issues that seem to stem from the release of 7.4, please document them on the following etherpad: https://review.rdoproject.org/etherpad/p/release-centos-7.4 Thanks !
