Which is why I'm investigating a migration to Scientific Linux.

Funny how these discussions come up just in time for each new release...
They come up every time that the methodology and resources of the developers don't produce the results expected by the users. The fact that this has historically only happened around release times is coincidental. People are (correctly) fearful of putting blind faith in optimistic engineers who say everything will be fine without saying why they believe that or why they reject suggestions for changes that might be improvements.
While SL and other distributions are perfectly fine for almost all uses, there's a certain irony in the fact the single advantage of CentOS is the ease of converting from it to a paid/supported RHEL installation, and the RH changes that make the rebuild difficult are driving people away.
