Hi Erik,

Just an FYI:  A number of sites (don't know the exact number) are running
current versions of the LDM without problems.  How or if the upgraded from
CentOS 6.x to 7.x is not well know to us.  We do know that a number of
sites installed CentOS 7.x from scratch, and they have had no problems.

I would look at a new install instead of an upgrade!
