Please don't think I'm taking credit away from the CentOS maintainers. My point is simply that there is no guarantee that this community would adapt and become another Fedora Legacy. After all, we'd all be using RHL and FC with FL updates if that was we wanted. We're here because we want to use RHEL w/o RH. Very different crowd and needs.
Not at all. I'm a RHEL-rebuild user because it best meets my needs. Especially after this nonsense, I wish that my needs were best met by a different distro. I have no inherent loyalty to RHEL (or Red Hat, for that matter).

I don't think we disagree :-)
You and I and most people here are RHEL-rebuild users for various reasons that can be summed up as: it fits our needs.
I'm guessing most of us do not want to do the amount of testing and Q/A that the FedoraLegacy folks do on their packages. That would not fit our needs.
If the nice pretested preconfigured SRPMs stop coming from RH, RHEL-rebuild projects will have to morph into packaging / backporting projects. I'm not that interested by that paradigm and I'm probably not alone.
