i have been polite for weeks. i finally had a enough of being polite and just being told, 'it will be release when its ready.' that is not a professional answer. is it too much to ask for an update?

i do pay for rhel. i made the mistake of converting to centos. damage is done. on the next major upgrade, i will return to rhel and will not professionally recommend centos either privately,personally, or in the realm of a business. thanks for seeing my side of the issue and not jumping on the elite bandwagon. i am done.
