With the release of CentOS 7 just around the corner, have the board
members made a decision?

We have seen an overwhelming number of responses from the community
members. Many of them are long time contributors who do not mind
"having late-night
coffee-fueled work sessions after the family's gone to bed".

Now the world is watching (between the FIFA games) how the board would
handle the situation in which their idea/plan does not get support
from the community.
