again, whether people are being paid to do any of this work is not relevant. it's important, from the perspective of reputation, that everyone see the centos project as being efficiently and competently run, and making what *appears* to be an announcement of completion and the beginning of syncing servers, followed by days of awkward silence and increasingly defensive rhetoric, is not the way to do it. it just looks bad.
Agreed. The best policy would be to simply say -- "It'll be done when it's done." Of course they tried that originally, and that's wasn't "acceptable" either.
