As much as I like CentOS, and as much as I appreciate the CentOS team's work, I can't help but see a correlation in the timeframes of the beginning of the latest round of 'intense discussions' on the list and the decrease in that percentage.

People have been told to go elsewhere if they didn't like the status quo, and it seems that they have.  It might not be the reason; but it could be the reason.

Just stating a simple correlation; not making a judgment call from that correlation, and not giving a detailed, dramatic, commentary on it either.

And I plan to stick with CentOS for the foreseable future, unless events cause a need to change things (similar to the events that caused me to take our WhiteBox machines to CentOS years ago).
