Hi Johnny,

I think the problem is the long waiting time.

For example:

CentOS 4.0 = 23 days after RHEL 4.0
CentOS 5.0 = 28 days after RHEL 5.0
CentOS 6.0 = 192 days +
CentOS 6.1 = ???

The next problem: After the release of CentOS 6.0, there are no current (6.1) security updates for CentOS 6.0.

How about a fundamental change? A completely open development process like at Fedora?

CentOS is a great operating system. But many people have lost confidence in CentOS. ... No security updates for months and very long release cycles.

Best regards,

Morten
