it isn't productive and many of you that are critical of CentOS and the people running it should just move on and go away as asked
+1 How easy it is to criticize people who have put in a tremendous amount of hours, without pay, working on the CentOS project. There is always room for improvement, but the criticism from those who have not put in the hours over the past years is not deserved.
Possible Perception Problem? When a non-contributing user sees an opportunity for improvement in the projects <insert your preferred project activity here>, the user should not only make a suggestion but also state why it is a good idea and situations that support the need for an improvement.
This presents a ripe opportunity for a perception of "unwarranted criticism", "whining" by someone who paid nothing, "lack of appreciation for all the *free* hard work we do", etc.
