cPanel is also insecure, and does not use CentOS packages for core
operations. ( including httpd / php / ftp etc ) - and for their own
packages, they usually take months and months to fix security issues (
if they are ever fixed ).

Using or trying to use CentOS packages in place of those cPanel packages
will render the machine unusable.

Just look at the stream of cPanel users with hacked machines that come
through the #centos at irc.freenode.net channel

so... when you think about Control / web panels' look at security and
where the packages are going to come from....
