I don't know if this is unique to the CentOS 7 implementation or standard but everything is spread out now even more. I found that /usr/lib/mailman/templates no longer exists. That directory contains just a README that says the location was changed to /etc/mailman/templates. In addition, I see there is also an mm_cfg.py in /etc/mailman which is a sym link to /var/lib/mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py. Nothing like consistency. Why wasn't the templates directory also a symlink?
