Couple questions for you, if you wouldn't mind? Do you complain to Redhat about similar issues? Do you complain to your sales rep about when the next release is going to drop, or what the hold-up on a release is? Assuming that you're a customer you would be quite dissatisfied with their reply, or to be more accurate, their lack of a reply. Why must CentOS be held to a different set of standards than the upstream? Redhat posts NO status updates and publishes NO timelines but yet CentOS gets no end of grief over their lack of the same. I do personally wish that there would be more status updates from TPTB but to be demanding of more updates is ridiculous.
