Nothing that Red Hat did has increased the burden on CentOS.
so says the person who has not done it

- the anaconda changes, re-design as to install stages, sever
deprecation of TUI installs, unfixed graphics driver issues, and install time anaconda 'seeks' across the wire to remote network content introduced addotional complexity to an already ever-changing and at best, spaghetti like pile of Python puke, as I've already noted on this and the -devel mailing list
Yeah the bugzilla report of the hard crash on initialisation of X during install of the 64bit betas of RHEL6 on my dell e4200 were closed with the status of feature request. At the time i tested with fedora 12 / fedora 13 and the 32 bit beta all of which were fine.
Maybe RHEL7 will be more polished "out the gate"
