As I've also said before, I have no special insight into how RH and the
CentOS board came to this timeline, but I _am_ inclined to believe that the
motivation is the one that they give: they want to focus attention and
resources. Look at CloudLinux saying that they plan to invest a million
dollars a year into doing their rebuild. It's easy to _say_ "Red Hat could
easily have done both".
