[CentOS-devel] Why not a fusion between CentOS and SL?

[Ljubomir Ljubojevic]

Scientific Linux uses upstream source to create their own repo, without 
desire to be 100% compatible.

CentOS project is dedicated to provide (as close as possible) 100% 
compatibility. It's not just a rebuild of upstream sources, goal is tu 
*duplicate* RHEL.

It's that simple. And this was answer many times in this and other 
mailing lists, forum threads....
