Could people dedicate their CPU time ala SETI or folding at home to test builds and compiles? I am not sure where the bottleneck is, and I know throwing money and manpower does not always help when it comes to software development :) One thing is delays (and with CentOS, I feel a 6-8 weeks delay is not that much, ymmv etc etc), but what I worry about is members of the core CentOS team burning out and quitting... that would be much worse for CentOS than a few weeks delay here and there. For me it is important for the core team to know that they can take the time off they need for real life events without feeling bad or guilty about delaying a free, community driven project. For people that are directly affected by a delay, there is always the excellent RHEL product to buy for a small amount of dollars. -- //Morten
