Funny, there was just a thread on the extra repo's drbd packages today in the drbd list. Given those packages have bugs and are not really maintained, along with the fact of how easy it is to make rpm's directly from source (lacking kmod though) might it be wise to drop them?
I saw a brief discussion on this subject (maintaining drbd etc) on the centos-devel IRC channel not long ago. Maybe this matter should be discussed in the -devel mailing list ?? I would like to hear from core CentOS devs.
As suggested, I am posting here to get the dev feedback, clearly having kmods is a much better solution than linbits approach, but the existing bugs will likely catch most new uses off guard.
I have edited the subject line to make clear what we are going to discuss. :D
I remember the major work of the last update was done by Ralph with extensive help from Fabian and other community members. I hope they can continue the effort. :)

+1 .. especially because i have to setup a new DRBD cluster on CentOS 5.x in the following weeks ;-)
