probably no one here wants to take on your personal experiences, no

Not a complete disaster. CentOS is a viable free/libre OS that serves
nicely as an alternative to a paid version and is a handy incubator
for Red Hat regardless of that not being a project goal. I have made
some criticisms of the release and development model on this list but
I also made a suggestion of how to address it and am willing to work
toward resolving some problems I see. All points absent from your mail.
What in particular do you suggest?
