It's been almost 2 years I left the CentOS team because I couldn't defend the CentOS project anymore.

But I am preaching to the wrong choir, because you obviously know all this.

Have you attempted the same involvement with SL? Or considered building a non-scientific respin of their version? (Basically backing out their changes...). Given the economic environment, maybe it would be good if they had some volunteer backup.
