You see, when ever I asked for time frame I was given civil answer. Not
even once I received rude comment (that I can think off). But I am aware
of what is happening behind the scenes. I do not have inside info,
just have compiling knowledge, I read everything that was posted and I
use my own brain to full capacity. I do not have bone to pick with devs,
I do not think I am God given and all-knowing and I always keep in mind
that this is something they do in their *spare* time. Just think how
would you feel is you would read 10-20 e-mails per day about how you
suck and how you are not capable to produce results. After how many
attacks on you would you snap? Don't just look at obvious, at
consequences, look also at the source of the problem (with too strong
replies from dev team ). How long would you allow proverbial lady with
the feather on her hat to tickle your face/nose until you would grab
that feather and broke it in two when lady would shrug you off as a mad
man for asking her to take the hat off?
SL's developers do that for a living, they are paid to create SL (Fermi
Linux actually). Also, take notice that SL 5.6 is in *TEST* phase, they
did release 6.0 before CentOS, but they are still to finish 5.6 which
most of people here wanted done first.
Karanbir already said he will document and publish everything about
rebuild process once CentOS 6.0 (6.1 most likely) is finished, and they
will see what can be done to involve more people. And has this stopped
those bashing at them? No. They keep it going.
I know they are provoking devs on purpose (saying something multiple
times does not make it more true/clever), but I keep responding so that
people like you do not think they are automatically right because they
voice their side of the story over and over again. I (with my entire
country) was victim of tendentious news reports about the civil war in
my country. I have seen vicious false reporting and I can not stand such
approach on either side in this flame war.
Devs do respond to harsh for my taste, but I understand where their pent
up negative energy is coming from. So I forgive them their humanity
(being only human).
