I assume by "you" you meant figuratively (with reference to the others), as I agree that this is not something that even involves CentOS, hence why I'm tired of seeing the upstream provider decisions discussed -- and in nearly all cases -- asking for a justification/reasoning from the CentOS maintainers (instead of Red Hat).
CentOS provides a rebuild of RHEL which is precisely what I want right now.
As I have said too, as Johnny and others have clarified will not change, etc...
I see things differently. People who run CentOS are always going to want answers to questions that are upstream provider decisions, and they're going to present those queries to CentOS because they're not a part of the paying audience to discuss this with the upstream provider. IMO, such questions are quite legitimate, and they help others to evaluate the product (CentOS as derived from the upstream provider base) more fully. And who, after all, has failed to gripe when his favorite toy is withheld?
Some of these discussions get quite long-winded, but I usually learn from them.
