I think it fair to say the objective of binary compatibility has greater weight with CentOS folks than completeness and correctness, but that's JMHO and like Dennis Miller, I could be wrong about that. As Will's fellow OKie, if you don't already know about kill files, I'll help Will do posthumously what he might have done if he were alive today reading this CentOS list, namely refer you to <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kill_file>. I am somewhat saddened that Browning's "“Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's a heaven for?” doesn't seem enough to cause sufficient interest in an auxiliary repo consisting exclusively of current release intrinsic functions like BIND, DHCP, et al. Perhaps the most encouraging remark came from Karanbir, namely: On Wed, Feb 2, 2011 at 12:10 PM, Karanbir Singh <mail-lists at karan.org> wrote: > > [1]: I say that with a pinch of salt though - EL6 is a tad overdue.
