Thanks for the link. It makes interesting listening because there are claims
that they tried to engage with the CentOS devs to offer support and resourcing,
but that relationship was not forthcoming... so they intend to build (as I see
it) a direct competitor distribution (i.e. "binary compatible"). Also
interestingly, apparently they have recruited help from the SME/Contribs people,
so I don't know if that means SME will die because it had precious little
resources to start with (and now those resources work for the competition) or
SME will still carry on and be rebased on Clear Core. Also stated in the audio
is that this was all a direct response to the uncertainties around CentOS.
So, it is interesting to see how this is all going to pan out.
