And this would be a sensible argument, were it not being made on the 
CentOS list. Folks here aren't paying anyone anything.

This is more like an extension of the Fedora community, in a way -- free 
testers and freeloaders. Big deal. Red Hat doesn't *need* to do anything 
for us, come to think of it they're already doing quite a bit, so I see 
no point in complaining.
