Please point to the CentOS bug too in the upstream bug entry (if you
need to add one) .. as I get tired of seeing posts describing how CentOS
Developers / Users are parasites who take from Red Hat and give nothing
back.

If we discover and document a problem on CentOS, and it is later
determined to be an upstream issue that they do not currently have in
bugzilla then a link to the CentOS bugs site helps document that CentOS
is a good Open Source player ... and not a bunch of leeches.

We already know this, of course :D ... it seems some other people could
stand to figure it out though.

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
