<div class="">I also Using debian. They have official backports
packages team.<br>
Which ship new kernel, latest software upgrade for debian stable
released.<br>
<br>
CentOS lacks of latest kernel, latest software upgrade.<br>
<br>
EPEL and elrepo enhanced CentOS. <br>
But there be bad side. <br>
They were not ship by CentOS community officially.<br>
Which means their project may discontinued in any time.<br>
<br>
Why Debian do their best provided us the backports packages?<br>
Enhanced the debian environment.The sad side is CentOS community
Lack of vision.<br>

<div style="font-size: 22px;">In the past, we had
specifically avoided doing this for a few reasons:</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">1. We didn't want to be
accused of playing favorites with 3rd party repos</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">2. We didn't want the
expectation of support ("I didn't add anything to</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">the default centos, I just
yum-installed it!")</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">3. We didn't want to ship
code that wasn't built/signed by us.</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;"> </div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">Given the new structure,
it may be worth having this conversation again.</div>
<div style="font-size: 22px;">Thoughts from the
community?</div>
