If you are refering to CentOS-2.1 or CentOS-3 I'd agree. But on CentOS-4 
and CentOS-5 that is simply not true. I guess you are using a small 
window onto what really is a distro to mean a snapshot in time.

As I said before, CentOS exists and that should prove that the distro is 
self hosting in its entireity. There are pkgs with a .fc6. tag - but 
look at their builddates and times. They were built completely within 
the distro host. No fedora6 was used to build anything in centos-5.
