And I'm the very first to point out that if you're going to whine, cry, bitch and complain, go do it to someone paid to listen to you. Part of the cost of the support entitlement at Redhat goes to paying people to man phones and sales reps to deal with such. After all, Redhat is a publicly traded company, they would love to have your business _and_ you'd actually be supporting CentOS' upstream provider in the process. But the concept of throwing money at CentOS, a *volunteer* project, in the deluded and mistaken belief that it will fix all the wrongs in the world is just ludicrous. With money comes overhead, management, accountability, multi-national taxation, ad nauseum. Oh, and the fact that it doesn't solve what people perceive as "issues".
