The blindness is absolutely amazing.

We don't look at this as a fun little project we can endlessly dick around
with. The *vast* majority of CenOS installations are on
servers/workstations in large *enterprises*. That's what the "E" in RHEL
stands for. Remember?.

This is why we don't use your Fedora. It's too unstable. And the lifetime
is *way* too short.

We need a stable operating system.  We had one. We no longer do because of
what your company did to us. And we can't afford $300+ per machine.

I respectfully request that you keep that in mind when discussing things in
the CenOS list. Your viewpoint is from the Fedora side.
