Eeerrm, that's not been what I have been saying. Nice to know where you
are coming from.
I also don't see what the size of my (past) contributions to CentOS has to
do with this whole discussion. I would much rather discuss why the QA
process needs to be closed, why you think opening up the process will not
help fix issues faster (while obviously that's the whole point of Open
Source) and what the analysis is of the CentOS 5.6 release taking 3 months
to complete.
It's obvious that most of the people arguing in this thread would like
more timely releases, especially because those releases take longer and
longer.
At the moment four CentOS developers (Karanbir, Johnny, Tru and Russ) are
arguing that more transparency in the build process and QA process is not
going to help speed up the process and have clearly articulated that they
do not plan to make the process more transparent, and that anyone willing
to learn, what the project already knows, are going to have to start from
scratch.
After Johnny and Tru's disappointing messages, I twittered yesterday
as my hope for a true CentOS community is fading. I rather spend my
energy on something that is truly Open Source, transparent and honest.
I guess that's what Johnny has been saying all along. There is no wish to
change how the project is taking care of things.
