Initial tests with the RHEL image suggest it's unusable on the OBS at the
moment. In addition to not having support for i686 architecture (I think
they have it labeled i586 so can't find the packages), the curl-openssl
build  fails trying to find two packages (groff, libidn-devel) that I just
verified are present in the CentOS 7 RC package list. Unless they have
different names in RHEL, which isn't likely, I don't think the OBS image
is set up correctly.

I would expect this will take a while to shake out.
