So saying the needs of the user differ is specious. I disagree. The people RH may be targetting for purchasing RHEL7 may very well be different from the people hoping to use CentOS 7. If not enough paying RHEL customers complain about this issue, they're not likely to change their policy; upset CentOS users probably won't bother upstream enough. --keith -- kkeller at wombat.san-francisco.ca.us
