Let me just add that the question was will *we* (freeIPA) do the CentOS 
builds and provide the repo? I think the answer to that will be no, at 
least for now.

It should be entirely possible to get freeIPA working on CentOS once the 
appropriate package requirements are available, The tricky one will be 
krb5 with spnego fixes and building the LDAP backend. It looks like the 
rest should be relatively straightforward.
