Well, I ask because there are people supporting SL to the degree that they have full time people working on it, yet they don't actually aim for 100% binary compatibility, just "good enough". I have used CentOS for a while and wasn't really aware of SL until recently. With all the projects that get supported by companies it just seems like CentOS would be a natural choice for a large technology company.
