This link does not tell about future of CentOS. I ask again...Will CentOS always retain 100% compatibility with RHEL, aside from contribs & addons which will remain seperate from the main distro and will be installed on user selection only.
How can you ask that when you're not paying anything for it? This assurance has some value, and that's what Red Hat is selling.
I can tell you that the base CentOS will always be RHEL SOURCES (plus yum for doing updates). That is for for any CentOS version (present or in the future).
As long as the upstream providers release source to the public, CentOS will track it. We will not upgrade the Base CentOS (except through the optional CentOS Plus repo for some items).
So, If you install CentOS and not Extras or CentOS Plus, you have only the versions from currently released upstream source and our mechanism for updates (yum/createrepo).
