Heh... I still see CentOS 6 with some regularity.
The replacement project for remaining CentOS 6 machines was going glacially, but at least didn't endanger compliance. The replacement project for CentOS 7 got sabotaged by management, few people got run out of the company, last I heard the replacement project for the replacement project was going to just end up with few multimillion cheques to OpenLogic so that certain big fat client group doesn't drop them like hot potato on EOL day.
had to compile git and tcpdump from source.
all in all, a pleasant experience. vi is the same.
