Honest question, not intended to be smart assed in any way:
Why have you not moved to SL since they have released the update before CentOS?
If I liked changing things on a whim, I wouldn't be using enterprise type distributions in the first place. And since this '5.4' discussion is about the future - it's sad but I don't any more faith in the future of research funding than in volunteer efforts.
But philosophically, it just seems wrong that the rebranding work has to be done at all, much less multiple times.
Maybe so. But a much more difficult problem to overcome, and not one that's likely to change.
RH has $$, and $$ are a target for lawsuits. RH needs to be able to make it clear they are *not* CentOS.
Just the world we live in. Honestly, RH doesn't even have to make it as easy as they do (see SLES).
