Also, i think people are reading too far into the delays for C6 were caused by redhat - it was also down to limited resources, machines, time and almost no QA infra at .centos.org :: that contributed quite a lot. Things that we have overcome and built up in the last few years. Might also be worth noting that we have a centos7beta up internally already. Look at it another way - we are not working with the RHEL teams, we are working with the RH open source and standards team ( that has no real input into RHEL ) - to expand what we do with the platform, rather than carry on with the single focus of the platform. And I think being more open and more community driven, we -can- improve across the board. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
