Thank you for these.
May I ask the costs and benefits?  Following are my guesses and hopes:

My Guesses:
Benefits:
   Easier to install, just toss into repo and yum install NAME
Costs:
   None

My Hopes:
Benefits:
   Easier to install, will be in CentOS repo with vm kernels
   No need to run vmware-config-tools.pl after kernel upgrade
   Time syncing is somehow better
   Johnny will personally help you with all your computer problems (just 
kidding)
Costs:
   None
