No, I think: These men and women are so awesome, giving up their time to make us a great operating system at no charge. Whether it be a week, a month, or a year after RHEL release, I am so grateful for all of them and the huge amounts of time and effort they *donate* to do all of this!! And I'll be blunt here: that should be our mindset for ALL of us on this list, and it would accelerate the timetable of new CentOS releases by: 1. Not having Karanbir and others stop and waste their time on snarky comments, endless "when will it be out, I want it NOW!" tirades, and other garbage 2. The development/QA/etc teams will be encouraged as we root them on, timetable be hanged. You want it now? Go to RHEL. Seriously. And, you'll be doing us two favors: you'll stop irritating us, and you'll ensure that we will have a great OS when CentOS has a release. Sorry, but I'm not in a good mood right now, but I'm tired of people complaining about the slow releases. As for me, I'm very grateful and thankful for what all the *volunteers* do for CentOS. Imperfectly? Sure. That's what patience and grace are for. Hey devs/QA, etc: keep on rollin', as they say here in the states. Thanks, guys and gals, for all that you do!!!!
