PS: I'm only wondering :)

Can we keep the profanity out? This is a pretty chill and professional channel, and I suspect I am not the only one who would like to keep it that way.

As for the issue, file bug reports. If you think your bugs require more exposure, then talk about them (and reference them) here and perhaps folks will be able to offer constructive advice.

There are going to be mistakes ... just like there are for the bleeding edge distros.

The question is, do the important issues get fixed quickly.

For the vast majority of them, the answer is yes.

Only one of those issues is really important in the Server market, which is what 90% (or more) of both CentOS and RHEL users actually use the distros in production. And that one issue, the kernel NUMA scheduler, is being actively worked very hard by both Red Hat and CentOS:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1065304

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=6949

Also. one can not complain about the price ... at least of CentOS.

The Red Hat engineers do an outstanding job ... the amount of work they do is tremendous and the quality is superior. Feel free to shift to another distribution if you think you can find one with a better track record that lasts for ten years.
