A bit of common sense comes in handy. Talking about something that the developers of a component need to weight in on is definitely best suited to the upstream lists for the component. If you hit specific issues with the implementation on CentOS, thats different.
Hm. CentOS is a renamed, compiled from source, of the Red Hat sources with a CentOS logo inserted at appropriate places plus, perhaps other changes as required. Having said that and your comment above seems to leave *very* little to discuss on this list. Since *any* Linux based distribution includes hundreds of packages, it is my very humble opinion that this list is the starting place for, especially the very new people or those with little time to *really* learn the administration of an operating system such as CentOS. I would would expect the maintainers of this list to understand this.
I have been running Red Hat since I purchased Linux Unleashed, First Edition, Copyright 1995 with one CD that contained three complete distributions with sources. Look at the expansion of the base distribution now. Personally, I'm *way* behind!
Random drive by surveys, and request for comments on a blog posts etc are definitely a waste of time for *this* list.
Of course this crap should *not* be tolerated, including spam. Enough soap box from me.
