In other words, both of the following are true (IMHO): A. Johnny's rigorous statement of what CentOS now is (or yours, it doesn't actually matter who rigorously states it, but Johnny's seemed to really cover all aspects - maybe it's just my reading though) B. "CentOS is binary replica of RedHat Enterprise Linux" statement is not true as far as new releases are concerned, i.e. not true to build one's future on it But as everyone is agreed it is counter productive to ponder these things, I will end my side of it by reiterating: As always: thanks to the whole CentOS team, everyone who worked on this project during last two decades to make it as great as we know and used it - as "binary replica of RedHat Enterprise Linux". Your effort can not be overestimated, as well as the way to say it: a "binary replica of RedHat Enterprise Linux" was always quenching any doubts in everyone I had to talk to - both technical people and non-technical alike. (Not anymore, sigh).
