This is the kind of thing that could go in CentOS Plus. Someone would
have to step up to build it and decide what goes into the package.
If they were built as addon RPM's then that might work well, but that is
what GFS uses and it is a pain in the butt to maintain because GFS is
also tied to specific userspace versions which don't coexist (though
they reckon they have fixed that now).
