Bryan - Please don't overstate this and make a problem where
none exists. There is an infinity of choices of which you
list three.
Another couple of major paths exist; Several former
'testers-list' folks offer ways; Joe Vos and Xos, David
Parsley and Tao; my 'Wings' efforts on non-Centos arch's
(Sparc, Mips/Netwinder, Alpha, PPC), PLD, Alt, and the list of
RPM based full scope distributions goes on.
Nor does one _have_ to 'get involved' with either the
RH-Fedora or Centos project to do effective distribution
building, or add-on packaging. There are independent
packagers who have packaged for years and years outside of
RH's Fedora and its required representations and paperwork to
be a committer, outside of Centos. Tummy, Matthias (pre-his
move to RH Fedora Extras), Dag, again my longstanding archive.
RPMForge offers a home.
