All that has been discussed. A percentage however is very hard to enforce. 
I am even not completely sure that we need to monetize on the list, but 
this is not in my hands and I am not interested to spend any more of my 
time to bring it up on meetings if the people that decide are not 
interested.

You do not have to convince me. Outside of Red Hat's reign there are many 
services to provide to CentOS users. Although one very important part of 
the support is that Red Hat is the only party that can fix problems 
inside CentOS and I think we need to be honest about that as well.
