The ``centos`` and ``rhel`` elements have been removed. These
were building version 6 which is no longer supported (mostly due
to a lack of python 2.7). Version 7 support is available via the
``centos7`` and ``rhel7`` elements (which downloads and modifies
the upstream cloud images) or via ``centos-minimal`` (which builds
the image from a empty chroot; only available for CentOS).
``centos-minimal`` is suggested as this is what OpenStack
Infrastructure uses for its elements.
Unfortunately, ``centos-minimal`` sets ``DISTRO=centos`` while
``centos7`` sets ``DISTRO=centos7``, despite building the same
thing as far as upper levels are concerned. We plan to rectify
this in the version 8 time-frame.
