Community in CentOS has always different from the rest of the Open
Source world.

Sorry, but the community in CentOS could not bring ideas to the table,
because the point of CentOS was to have a rebuild of RHEL and not
differ.

That has changes with the SIGs, which provide additional content, and
will change further with stream, where the base OS will be more
reachable to the community as well.

So please be very careful when you use the word community.
