The latest https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-2946.html which is a critical update for firefox released on the 14th is still not released for CentOS 7 after 2 days. It appears the core team have lost focus on what's important. The SIG stuff should be peripheral. The altarch stuff should be peripheral. Concentrate on what's important - it's the DISTRO. The rest of it may be nice to have but the important part is the core of the distro. Anything else is just distraction. Trevor
