Or they can try to convince the project not to follow the Whitebox 
example of not matching resources to the task.

No one has suggested any of these things.  I don't understand why you 
keep repeating that as if it were a contradiction.  Or why you are so 
convinced that CentOS could not be both timely and correct.  In fact, I 
thought one of your other postings implied that it was possible.

OK, if you are going to use that as an example, please tell me how many 
of those people made that choice knowing that updates were going to be 
months behind upstream.  There's certainly nothing on the project web 
site to imply that.
