it wouldn't seem that Zimbra's position (they don't support CentOS) is
any different than a lot of other software out there.

I can see the reason that you would take it personally but they don't
mean it personally, it's just typical of another proprietary software
company shirking responsibility...no more, no less.

They surely could support CentOS and it's obvious after a bit of
inspection that the problem that they are experiencing is not just
CentOS but also RHEL. I think what this really says is that CentOS is
really popular and the issues were more obvious on CentOS because of the
number of people using Zimbra with CentOS. I think you may see an
alarming trend to this...where companies are seeing more problems with
CentOS than RHEL simply because there are more people using CentOS...I
wonder.
