Yes, and CentOS does not have issues ! It's all Dag that's making it up.
Without Dag releases would be more timely :) Pigs can fly !
Oh, stop it. I never once said that there were no issues; we all know that there are. But you rehashing the same tired arguments over and over and over hasn't changed anything yet and it is quite unlikely to do so in the future.
Your constant drive-by snipes don't do much to give the devs additional motivation to correct any of the issues that are present. You come across as just another ungrateful consumer more often than not of late, Dag. To be honest, I expected better of you.
I know you've a history; I know that there might well be some bad blood present; I also know that you did much at one time to promote the project. But that doesn't give you a right to pollute this list with the _same_ thing, over and over. It's monotonous, it's not productive, and at some point it just becomes noise.
---- I think his point is well taken. If the developers don't change the methodology of building, each release will be later and later given the current trends. It's pretty hard to argue anything else. RHEL 6 was released on November 10th, 2010 and here it is more than 5 months later and nada.
My perspective is that Dag's packages have contributed greatly to the success of CentOS. In fact, Dag has a long history of packaging software for many different Linux distributions especially RedHat/Fedora. To characterize him as a drive-by sniper demonstrates ignorance of all of his contributions.
