I think his point is well taken. If the developers don't change the
methodology of building, each release will be later and later given the
current trends. It's pretty hard to argue anything else. RHEL 6 was
released on November 10th, 2010 and here it is more than 5 months later
and nada.
My perspective is that Dag's packages have contributed greatly to the
success of CentOS. In fact, Dag has a long history of packaging software
for many different Linux distributions especially RedHat/Fedora. To
characterize him as a drive-by sniper demonstrates ignorance of all of
his contributions.
