Hey Matt, All,

As I've suggested in my recent Cinder install docs change [1] I think we
should cover RHEL 7, CentOS 7 and Fedora 21 for Juno.

Could I request that we document the outcome of this discussion in the
Abstract of the install guide. At the moment this only highlights that :

Slightly OT but should we also list RDO as the Openstack distro being
used instead of listing the EPEL repos?

Thanks,

Lee
