Johnny,

I am very much appreciative of the effort that is put into CentOS.  I
leave my machine doing BT all the time and have donated 225+GB so far.
 I would be willing to give money, but only after I see an accounting
and description of where the money is going.

I asked for that many months ago and got no response, so I left it
that there was enough money coming in that it isn't worth doing the
accounting to get even more money.

I would probably just trust that the money goes to a good place, but
the second result on this search doesn't sit well with me.  That story
is also the reason I am concerned about the slow and unpublicized
drift from RHEL-SRPM rebuilds (change to Glade, change to Mozilla
cert-db).
