Yup. One thing you'll learn really quickly is that RH abandoned TONS of
packages to EPEL - meaning they don't have to actually support them.

A lot of things that used to be in the core repos are now not.

If you're doing desktop stuff, I don't think EL7 has it anymore - may as
well use Fedora. I use Fedora + KDE5 on my laptop and its about as good
as gnome was before the great dumbing down that made Gnome 3.

And yeah, I get told off in the official channels all the time for this,
but I still disable selinux on just about everything.
