Okay. It may be easiest then just to knock something off and see if it 
is agreeable. The question is how much different is different enough. 
I'm guessing this has been covered before. In any case  the current docs 
can be used as a point of departure.

I do have something I would like you to look at, but I'm not sure 
sending it to the list is a good idea. The file is 2MB odd. You can 
download it here: http://www.4shared.com/folder/trOCQ_x3/shared.html

Once you've decompressed the archive, point your browser at:

docs.redhat.com.adapted/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6/html-single/6.0_Release_Notes/index.html

You can run the following command on this file to get an idea of the 
context in which the word CentOS is used and where it replaced the old 
name:

egrep -oi 'centos.{0,40}' index.html

There are some cases where 'CentOS' and the surrounding text should be 
removed such as when support is mentioned.
