No ... not at all. RedHat does not spend any time making sure that the people who use CentOS can get free updates.

I agree. Everyone stands on the shoulders of others. And _no_one_ is greater than anyone else. We're all a GPL community that works together.
[ You'll note that I carefully said "GPL." ]
If you don't want to use CentOS, then don't use it ... but it is not easy to maintain a distro based on RHEL ... (or anything else for that matter). So, no, if you like and use CentOS, you should vote for CentOS.
Once again, I agree.
A couple hundred thousand people use it ... and hopefully they appreciate the amount of work it takes to maintain.
And I think votes like this are a great way to let people know.
