Ok, let's do some small analysis and verification of your bold statement.
My system: Freshly installed CentOS 6 with ALL updates
List of the repos used for the search:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, protectbase, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: linux.mirrors.es.net
* extras: mirror-la.7x24web.net
* rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net
* updates: mirror.5ninesolutions.com
Lets see if there is anything related to the 'gnumeric' in any of the listed repos.
First, let us count all the packages in ALL repos.
Code:
[me@localhost ~]$ yum list | wc -l
10618
How many packages are in 'base' repo and in 'rpmforge' repo ?
Code:
[me@localhost ~]$ yum list | grep base | wc -l
5322
[me@localhost ~]$ yum list | grep rpmforge | wc -l
3460
Is there a package called 'gnumeric' in any of the repos listed above ?
Code:
[me@localhost ~]$ yum list | grep gnumeric
gnumeric.x86_64 1:1.10.10-1.puias6.1 installed
gnumeric-plugins-extras.x86_64 1:1.10.10-1.puias6.1 installed
Dear reader(s) (including
John VV), as you can see, I did my home work before I wrote the initial post.
The package 'gnumeric' is not part of the repos 'base' and/or 'rpmforge'. I found it and install
it from the repository '
puias' and
NOT from 'base' or 'rpmforge'.
Since I needed and wanted to have 'gnumeric' on my box, I googled a little bit and found
this repository.
Why did I write such a lengthy reply ?
The answer is very simple. Many people use
www.linuxquestions.org as a source
for the solution for their real problems with Linux.
Half cooked replies (aka not verified replies)
reduce the usefulness of the site. 
Sorry, this is a recipe for insanity, As pointed out above, (as root)
Not part of CENT OS 7
