I think the centos-offtopic list should also be centos related, but not so strict postings as the current list is.
Perhaps a better split would be centos-tech for "on topic" stuff specifically about the OS and its packages, and something like centos-misc for everything else. And perhaps a centos-advocacy for stuff like the griping (whether justified or not) of the last few months, and for talking about rival distros. (This mirrors the way the comp.os.linux newsgroups are split.)
I consider the hardware threads on-topic insofar as they're about system requirements for running the OS. Getting hardware to work with Linux has always been an important issue.
