[CentOS-devel] are there any chances to see finished CentOS6 in 2011?

That's a beautiful and useful answer ... (not joking) so why not
considering that CentOS developers (who are not paid for that and still
do that on their free time , when they are not busy with their jobs) can
also have sometimes priorities ?
Can't they be sick/ill ? Can't they spend time with their kids/family
during Xmas time ?
Sorry but i've never read somewhere on the CentOS website that devteam
members are 'slave' from centos users :-)
I personally prefer an 'happy' centos contributor/developer who will
spend a reasonable time on CentOS on a long run than a dev spending all
his time on centos and breaking relationship with his family (don't get
me wrong, i've never said that it was the case here either !) and/or
having a 'burn out' effect on a short run ...
The real question that people wanting a CentOS 6 release should ask to
themselves is : "What have I personally done to help ?" There was a
public call to help producing CentOS 6 .. Look at the result : only
*one* person (out of the 'usual suspects' to use Karanbir's words) spent
one or two hours to reviewed those branding issues bug filed on
bugs.centos.org.
What do people from the CentOS devteam have to conclude ? I let you
answer yourself ...:-)
