I do remember seeing that graphic before, and I understand that the
build process is a moving target. It would still be of value for
educational purposes, for "community relations", for people who want to
create custom variants on the distro, and as a "warm fuzzy" to potential
CentOS corporate/institutional users for "insurance" purposes, to have
the current process openly available.
