You are missing the point, imho. I think the real issue, for me anyway, 
is that Amazon is actively discouraging what is essentially a community, 
in spite of the fact that they and many of their users rely on the 
community to get things done, both work and play.

Well, what is centos.org ? Why dont you go ahead and document the build 
process, and I can plumb that into the distro-build scripts.

workaround to what ? Amazon being hostile to open source projects ?
