Matplotlib and wxagg on RHEL 7
I noticed that wx (wxagg) support is no longer included with the python-matplotlib package in RHEL 7. I can't find any discussion regarding this decision. Does anyone know the answer?

I don't think this was a decision specific to Red Hat but a choice made by the upstream project (matplotlib).
You can check the changelog for the package on this page:
https://access.redhat.com/downloads/content/rhel---7/x86_64/2456/python-matplotlib/1.2.0-15.el7/x86_64/fd431d51/package
It mentions lack of support for wx and removing wx from the RHEL 7 packages, namely these two entries (relevant entries pasted):
2013-01-03 David Malcolm dmalcolm@redhat.com - 1.2.0-6
- remove wx support for rhel >= 7
2012-11-22 pcpa paulo.cesar.pereira.de.andrade@gmail.com - 1.2.0-1
- Cleanup spec as wx backend is no longer supported
