Just to carry this a little further ...
If the 850,000 unique IPs that get updates from us in the last 12 months paid the project $30.00 each .... that is:
$25.5 Million Dollars
Now, if I had $25.5 million dollars, I would make sure that you got your respin updates the next day (exactly as they come form upstream).
Of course, CentOS is free ... and we don't get paid anything ... BUT, it would be nice.
