At one time I thought they should join forces, but even as talented as all the folks involved are, it wouldn't be the greatest of ideas; in a way, thanks to how open the processes of both distributions are (yes, the CentOS process is more open than it could be!), they already have joined forces, just as sovereign allies, instead of parts of one big project.

In a truly open system, you don't need to 'join forces' to take advantage of each others' work. The version control system will tell you everything you might need to know, and the fact that it is open means that permission to use it is implicit.
