Hey folks,
[This is slightly off-topic, but it's related to direction of using redhat/fedora systems as servers, so I figured there may be interest here.]
At systemd.conf this year we met a bunch of people who were interested in our (Facebook) work to backport rawhide's systemd to CentOS 7 (see our talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhYd0S3qiMY) we've released the repo of specs and diffs that make this possible here:
https://github.com/facebookincubator/rpm-backports
We hope to add more here over time (we're working on releasing initscripts backports now). We keep this repo in sync with our internal tools, so as the targeted software moves forward in rawhide, you should see the repo keep up.
Feel free to email me on or off list as appropriate if you have questions/comments.

Works for me. :)
Have you thought about making a Copr from this? API docs here http://copr-rest-api.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html so you could keep it automatically updated.

So, we (Facebook) don't want to be in the business of providing binaries (of this stuff) to people, but we're working closely with the systemd builder team at Redhat who's looking at possibly using this repo to provide RPMs since there's (apparently) significant interest in this.
Relatedly our backport of network-scripts portion of the `initscripts` RPM just got approved for open-sourcing so that should land tomorrow (PR is already sent).
I'm happy to keep this list apprised if there is interest, but I also don't want to spam people since this is only tangentially related. :)
