Ok, it was just quite surprising that you went ahead and posted that 
content anyway. To me, it was the start of a conversation and not that 
you would post a question to finish it off. My mistake on that.

Putting it on the Download page, we most certainly are pushing it.

Is there anything that we could do from an @centos point of view or 
people who might be spoken with ? We can all push upstream to open the 
beta program up on a personal level, however doing it as a community 
might carry more weight ? perhaps ? I've just emailed the guys at 
SciLinux to see what their opinion on the subject is and if they would 
like to join in the effort requesting an open beta.

btw, upstream seemed quite firm on not doing so ( my impression again ) 
when the same issue was quite hotly contested as a sub-issue in the 
fedora-devel conversation about wikipedia's move to ubuntu and 
implications / fallouts from that.

my bad, perhaps a s/?/!/ would have gone down better in the comment log 
( which by the way, we should all do a lot more of - add comments to 
commits )
