There is no guarantee that RHEL 7 will get FR 3.0, it's a scheduling
issue and the timing is very close, it's still an open question.

We'll only provide FR 3.0 for RHEL 6 if there is strong customer demand.

I don't follow the CentOS packages but to the best of my knowledge
they've never packaged stuff which did not originate from Red Hat.

There are differences between our distributions which results in
differences in the spec files. One either parameterizes the spec file
with conditionals and share the spec file between distributions or you
maintain independent spec files per distribution, there are pros and
cons to both. I've moved to keeping independent spec files and merging
the changes between the spec files with each FR release.
