Has anyone considered joining forces with Scientific Linux to reduce the workload and give both a more robust infrastructure?
Yes, but the goals are rather different.
I thought both had upstream compatibility as the main goal - and both seem competent enough that I wouldn't expect many problems in this regard. SL also claims a secondary goal of making site customization easy - perhaps Centos as we know it could simply be one of those customizations and going forward other variations would be easy. If the people doing the work aren't getting any value out of the brand name, I don't see the point of fragmenting the user community for what is essentially the same thing.
I was expecting it to be the other way around. With Centos the base and SL a site(or something like it). In RHEL 6 I expect the distro rebuild tools to make sites easier. This comment is based on the distro rebuild tools in Fedora. We built a custom Fedora 10 to test this idea. These are pungi, revisor and the iso image tool(forgot its name).
