Let's see -- Perhaps one in 200 people USING CentOS binaries,
use CentOS SRPMs. Next look at the relentless railing and
carping about 'delays' and 'lateness'. Then look at the
negligible (or at least minimal) responses to repeated
requests for donation of additional resources to the project.
SRPMs first is not likely a course likely to serve the largest
number first, nor cut the pain of having to listen to the the
larger source of thankless, thoughtless whimpering, I'd say
A person wanting earlier SRPM access probably has to put up
resources to facilitate such a path (I am aware of Shad Lord's
recent mirror offer). More bandwidth at the needed points
[and avoiding fiber cuts] is harder to donate, sadly.
Mirror flap seems to still be a problem as well, probably due
to some mirrors not syncing against sub-masters properly, but
rather trying to cross-sync, and so confusing inferior
unofficial sub-sub-mirrors that have beenm inprovidently
editted in (based on main IRC channel diagnosis)
I would be thrilled to have a simultaneous coordinated
release, but the 'leak' of 'patched' torrent instances, and at
least two mirrors opening the full ISO set before the
coordinated bit flip date and time, leave rather a bad outlook
to me as to the ability to make things better through such an
'inverted as to demand' approach
My $0.02 .... I'd love to be shown a path to avoid the
problems on the 5.3 roll-out
