The build order is not what took 86 days, was it ?

We don't need the coordination anymore, you have the secret now for
CentOS 5.6 (and the previous builds) I am certain that if more people
understood the basic problems with building CentOS, more people would be
skilled to help in the next iteration.
Now every release that is closed, is a lost opportunity to attract more
people.

If it would help to get more people the skills to help with the release,
absolutely ! No community project thrives by keeping potential
contributors ignorant.
It's only useless if there's no change.
