Why not step up and offer to maintain a bleeding edge kernel in the
centos-plus repos ?
That would not be a bad idea. I always wondered how well a recent kernel
would work with CentOS 5, but I never took the time to test a Fedora kernel
on my dependable boxes.
A project with this focus might indeed be useful.
Let me add that nothing should be holding you (anyone) from starting a
project by sending an email with intentions, get hold of a wiki-page to
list your ideas and progress and motivating people to help and test.
Whether that is a bleeding-edge kernel project, a new tool to migrate
sideways to and from RHEL, or a design, documentation or translation
project. I am sure your effort is useful, but often it needs commitment
and determination to get things going.
