You are telling the wrong people.

CentOS is a bug for bug rebuild of RHEL. If it's enabled in RHEL then it 
WILL be enabled in CentOS, regardless.

If you have concerns then you need to file a bug with Red Hat for them 
to address it in RHEL. Any changes will then filter down to CentOS. 
That's how it works :-)
