I've read the articles; I've no need to re-read them.

You didn't look very hard.
Maybe he is a hack, I have no clue. But he is a hack with a fairly big linux-focused audience that repeated a few home truths (in my opinion). I am using it to try to illustrate how the status quo is harming the project. If that isn't important to you or you don't agree, that's fine.
The project is fine for what I need it for. And, again, it's only a tiny fraction of the user base that has a problem with the project and the project management that are making a big stink about things.
And those that think everything is peachy are also a tiny minority as far as we know, because I reckon 95%+ of CentOS users never post on the list. I wish people would stop stating what the *think* as *fact*.
I've never said that there weren't issues. Matter of fact I've agreed that there are indeed communication problems that I hope will be resolved. The difference is I'm not crying about the sky falling.
And do us a favor? Take your own advice.
