[CentOS] Are linux distros redundant?

[peter.winterflood]

technicaly SL is shutting down but in reality they are just merging with 
centos effort wise.
this is not a bad thing as there was duplication of effort being that the 
outcome was so similar.
so in effect the rhel based platform just got more focused.
