I assume by "you" you meant figuratively (with reference to
the others), as I agree that this is not something that even
involves CentOS, hence why I'm tired of seeing the upstream
provider decisions discussed -- and in nearly all cases --
asking for a justification/reasoning from the CentOS
maintainers (instead of Red Hat).

As I have said too, as Johnny and others have clarified will
not change, etc...

Probably the best statement I've seen to date.

Although you're just going to prompt people to say things
like, "but I want CentOS to have LILO" or worse yet "I just
want CentOS to be the 'best'."

"Best" is relative.
