Nope.
Yes, I'm on CentOS 6, but as this is a US federal organization (civil sector), I did ask, and was told no repos Over There. Security issues....
The same (their answer I mean) will probably apply to CentOS itself, will it? Where CentOS headquarters are situated, where CentOS team members live? And the same will apply to majority of open source systems, many BSD flavors will fall under the same category. My answer (to myself) is: I do trust open source. Be it closed source, then the company ownership would matter. But with open source, developers situated in Russia (where the KGB is which I'm awfully scared of) have my full trust as the ones living in US (where NSA is situated which I'm scared of no less). I though have no idea if at all I would be able to find right argument when told something by government bureaucrats.
