I see things differently. People who run CentOS are always going to
want answers to questions that are upstream provider decisions, and
they're going to present those queries to CentOS because they're not a
part of the paying audience to discuss this with the upstream
provider. IMO, such questions are quite legitimate, and they help
others to evaluate the product (CentOS as derived from the upstream
provider base) more fully. And who, after all, has failed to gripe
when his favorite toy is withheld?
Some of these discussions get quite long-winded, but I usually learn from them.
