In the blog post it is also mentioned that some users "had specific 
technical questions [...]. We’ve been listening. We know that CentOS 
Linux was fulfilling a wide variety of important roles."

So I now ask myself: Has any of these questions actually been answered 
by now? I'm one of these users and so far I only got an automatic reply.

Probably not the correct topic to ask this question, but I simply didn't 
know where else to ask.
