How log do you need to keep saying the same thing.
As long as it is right and people keep arguing with it, I guess.
CentOS is now what it has been for 11 years. If that is what you want, use it. If it is not what you want, use something else.
Well it was what I want. Now it's different.
You think it is so easy to do something else .. then you hire the people required and do your own distro.
A different disto with unique maintenance requirements is exactly what I don't want. But I don't see how to avoid having multiple systems with different required procedures overlapping for some time now.
I don't blame anyone in CentOS-land for the breakage - I'm sure it eats some of your time too. But, is there anything that could help automate a transition? Are there tricks buried inside the automated 6x-7x upgrade tool that could be separated out to help build a working-but-parallel 7x system to test before cutting over? How are others dealing with the end of freenx and the inability of x2go to run gnome3? That's 'almost' a uniquely CentOS issue because freenx was so easy on CentOS5/6.
