It will likely never been in 7.0 as there are no plans to introduce it
in RHEL 7.0 at this time. If/when it is added to future RHEL 7 releases,
it will probably eventually become available via CentOS accordingly.

Nope, since it is unavailable, there is no place to download from
specifically for CentOS 7.0.
