I suppose the CentOS devs have other minor duties like feeding families,
taking children to ball games and dance recitals, helping with homework,
etc... The dev staff is not large, and any time spent answering "is it done
yet" queries will slow them down further.

I never ask, and never complain, since I don't feel this totally free product
owes me anything... As a matter of fact, we owe the project...
