[chef] value_for_platform wildcard?

Title: value_for_platform wildcard?

Is there a wildcard for the value_for_platform function? Specifically, I'm interested in the version field; rather than specifying the specific CentOS version, I would like to specify "all Centos 7 versions". Unfortunately, Ohai reports a *very* specific version number (in my case, 7.0.1406) which means that my code would break as soon as a new build comes out.

What I am trying to accomplish is something like this:

my values = value_for_platform(
  %w{ centos redhat } => {
     "7.x"     =>[ values for Centos 7 ]
     "default" => [ values for Centos 5 and 6 ]
   },
   "default" => { "default" => %w{} }
)

Thanks!
