I've helped run some various local groups. One thing I've noticed is that many people are very quick to offer suggestions on how things could work better. They want to assign folks to do everything from writing code to maintaining servers to migrating to better/faster/stronger hardware or software. What many people don't realize is that it's work, sometimes a lot of work, to keep things going much less find time to rip out a limping infrastructure and replace it anew. I've heard variations of, "Hey Kwan, I don't know how to do this myself, but why don't you blah blah blah the servers so that it will blah blah faster/better/stronger?" Companies can charge a lot of money for these services and many times we ask that it be done freely and on demand. So a big thank you to all the CentOS team. Your efforts are appreciated.
