Are we going to start this again ... we are doing the best we can and we
are building things as we go along to take care of issue when we hit a snag.

There is a whole channel of RPMs that we are not allowed to look at from
upstream now.  They do not release them on any ISOs and we can't pull
things directly off RHN (the only way to get the optional channel) and
use it.  This is just one of many issues we are having right now.

If you can do it better, then do it.

If you can not do it better, great, neither can we ... if we could have
been done by now, we would have been by now.

You can, as always, pay Red Hat for RHEL if you have servers where
CentOS does not meet your update requirements.

All that continual whining does is make me want to quit trying to get it
out the door.

I am busting my ass here ... I can't do any more than I am.  If it is
not good enough, then its just not.
