I do understand the conflict, just pointing out the other side. The
goal for Centos isn't so much to build a 'better' distro by accumulating
fixes that make it better for particular purposes as it is to build as
nearly exact a copy of RHEL as legally permitted. But community
involvement happens because people need to fix something for their own use.
