Assuming you're being sincere here and not trolling, any reason _you_
didn't follow proper netiquette and search the archives (say -- back
one day?) for an answer to your question?

You'd have seen discussions along this vein have been ongoing for weeks
and could have anticipated the reactions you received.

CentOS will be ready when it's ready -- that's how it's always been and
that's how it'll be for the next release as well.

There has NEVER been any point to asking "when" -- and asking after
weeks and weeks of arguing has gone on is literally like tossing a live
grenade in the midst of everything all over again.  And you lecture us
about netiquette?

Apologies to the rest of the list for taking the bait.  No more for me
I promise. :)
