Of course.   My only question is whether the observation that the gap for CentOS 8 is indeed larger than we have come to be used to for CentOS 7.  I'm certainly not, and I don't think anyone is, claiming that the CentOS teams owes us any particular response time.  I just want to know if the claim that it's systematically significantly longer for 8 than 7 is in fact (empirically) true.
