I really dont know how oracle's linux rebuild effort works - but as far
as I -do- know, the sources are available at the same time to everyone
right ? its a case of what you do with them and how you do it.
Also, i think people are reading too far into the delays for C6 were
caused by redhat - it was also down to limited resources, machines, time
and almost no QA infra at .centos.org :: that contributed quite a lot.
Things that we have overcome and built up in the last few years.
Might also be worth noting that we have a centos7beta up internally
already.
Look at it another way - we are not working with the RHEL teams, we are
working with the RH open source and standards team ( that has no real
input into RHEL ) - to expand what we do with the platform, rather than
carry on with the single focus of the platform. And I think being more
open and more community driven, we -can- improve across the board.
