I can see that ability to drive people (devs in this case) mad/sick of asking questions also costs nothing. I own small WISP and when I started my link to upstream ISP (their gear) would brake dozens of times every night. And I had customers that wanted perfect internet experience and would call me all the time to bash at me even when I constantly told them that I am not able to impact current state of the link (and I poured a lot of money into various solutions). I even had one "mental patient" that whined if he was not able to ALWAYS have 100% of paid throughput even thou I never committed to that level of service. Then I learned my lesson and my answer was: "You do not like how it works? OK, I will HELP you move to another provider (that was in fact worst then me), just that I could have my peace of mind. Some even protested, but each and every one were moved/disconnected and I was able to have normal private life. So I know exactly how CentOS devs feel when people here (very very very very small percentage of millions of CentOS installations around the world) constantly bash at them that they are incompetent (That IS what you/they constantly say). I am really getting sick of that attitude, and I actually planned to convert 90-100% of my currently used CentOS 5.5 servers and desktops to CentOS 6.0 in late December. My entire schedule (that involves tiding up my business clients and my residence relocation to nearby town) was planed around CentOS 6.0 release in 2010. But I choose not to bash on them like the "broken records" here. "I want my FREE stuff NOW, NOW, NOW...", etc... Ljubomir
