I agree with your sentiment, John, but the fact that folks fled is due to CentOS (owned by RedHat, of course) doing. And they use most logical way for their discussion: the CentOS refugees ask their kin in quite logical place: CentOS list, where they all were prospering in the past.
Incidentally, I for one do not blame CentOS in the fact that I have to move my workstations/numbercrunchers to different Linux (Debian). I could have analyzed the fact when it was announced that CentOS project is owned by RedHat, and should have expect potential turn. Not a big deal, servers are FreeBSD for long time already for different reason. But I can understand the folks for whom it turned out a big deal. Like the ones recommending their customers CentOS…
