AS for the "definition" of change, It was made simple by devel guys. There can not be no changes, beside most necessary, that distance CentOS from RHEL. What RHEL publishes CentOS must also publish, with only as minimal as possible changes. CentOS distro is not allowed to carry any 3rd party repo files because RHEL does not have them, and CentOS project strives to be binary compatible with RHEL.
And then suddenly, after CentOS Project members get payed by Red Hat CentOS project starts looking like Fedora respins, braking with RHEL numeration, CentOS distro becomes experimental platform for software Red Hat wants to push for better market share via respins, and we are left explaining to every single newbie why that had to be done.
I think this is the core issue - we (users) have the belive that centos is redhat without support - and I would like to keep it that way - no extra 3rd party repo files etc - pure RHEL - same version, same software.
