This thread and others like it are not about people not 'liking'
CentOS all of a sudden and everyone know that. It is about what the
people who expected a reasonably current CentOS to be available may be
forced to use instead.

We are pretty much all in the same boat here. If someone can
authoritatively say that CentOS will never be more than a few weeks

end of its own accord. Otherwise everyone needs a plan B.

Sorry, but I don't believe that there is any such vast majority that
isn't concerned about the situation.
