So why is CentOS development so closed? Why users can't have alphas, or betas of this distro and must use some other rebuild as Scientific Linux?
One of the reasons is the sheer volume. CentOS is in use (wild educated guess here) on a massively larger scale than SL is. Just getting out the isos for an alpha or beta or whatever will take at least a day to two for getting on all mirror servers. If you also want to have the packages, it even might take longer.
