[rabbitmq-discuss] Support for CentOS

AFAIK the EPEL repo is out of date and you need to follow the steps on
the downloads page to make sure your install is up to date.  Have you
tried this?

Re the ES site, for CentOS you should be able to select a bundle using
the drop-down menu thing in the middle of the page.

But, looking now more closely at this site, it seems that the packages they make available are free. Bug fixes and general support will incur costs.
