Why do, you, people use “creative editing”? Cite the whole piece I said, and place your question there, don’t tear single phrase out of context.


It's not "creative editing", it's quote trimming in a forum which provides threaded discussions.  It's the recommended etiquette for this forum, and has been for decades.  Context can be readily provided from the parent message which is available to everyone who received my reply.  But if it makes you happy, I'll expand the quote and ask the question again:

A. "I am going to install CentOS which is binary replica of RedHat Enterprise", so whatever works on RedHat Enterprise will work on CentOS [implying my reputation behind merely an ability to install binary packages and common sense of what binary files are there on both systems in questions]

B. There is CentOS which is promised (I am borrowing your phrasing here) "WILL BE extreamly similar to RHEL + a couple months"

but in the second  case I can not put my reputation at stake and finish my phrase with "whatever works on RedHat Enterprise will work on CentOS".


Why do you think that?  Are RHEL (and CentOS) point releases backward compatible or not?  If you trust point releases to work, why would you hesitate to trust a distribution that resembles an upcoming point release?

(And if you don't trust point releases, why would you use the OS at all?)
