It's also the sort of thing people in a community try to do for each other without needing legal terms for enforcement.
You raise a new argument, an orthogonal strawman, as is your wont, switching to 'try to do' -- I'll close the old one first.
No, I've only had one all along, although perhaps it was misunderstood. That is, that there are many people using CentOS in roles where being able to plan ahead is helpful. All of them almost certainly have real world experience and know that plans don't always work out, but having some idea of what to expect is better than none.
'best efforts' is certainly not something compatible for third-parties to demand in the context of a 'social voluntary' effort using non-paid staffing and absent privity. 'best efforts' may in fact be freely given, but to foster or further an 'expectation mentality' is to deny reality and to set up false expectations.
No one questions your effort on the technical side - or has a right to. Why is it so hard to share what is going on?
