Perhaps you should have spent your money several months ago and then subscribed to the Oracle mailing list? I come here because I like Centos. I admire and respect the volunteers who make Centos the great product it is. I've seen it used all around the world running Apache. > this project is probably dead in the water. Nonsense.
