CentOS was _always_ a best effort project done on a volunteer basis, if it was stable enough to build a company on top of it, good! But always remember that, in the end, you are getting what you paid for.
Red Hat is a company built on top of a series of best effort projects done on a volunteer basis.
Gotcha!
And Red Hat takes the effort on itself to mantain what it's published on RHEL for you to use, indirectly, through CentOS; including fixing bugs, reporting things upstream and being (directly or indirectly) involved in projects they package in the various RHEL releases.
How many of us, complaining here about a supposed "breach of trust", are involved in making CentOS better and not just taking what others do and make money on top of it? I never participated in anything CentOS related, I happily use it but you should know what you are buying when you choose to use a (once) volunteer-based project.
