Yes, but I was mentioning documentation about how to
deploy/configure/maintain it, but you have a point : so the note would
need to mention that everything regarding support channels and
subscriptions should be considered "not applicable" to CentOS
It's true that it can confuse potential users, but not having
documentation at all doesn't help, and from what I see in #centos or
forums, people are already pointed to the only existing doc, aka the
upstream ones
