Yes, I would like to have an official CentOS AMI as well and have looked 
into creating something like this previously. The Amazon guys have been 
fairly interested - but dont seem to be wanting to push things beyond 
the 'interested' stages. They are really geared up to working with 
companies and organisations putting forward development costs etc, 
rather than a general community.

Pretty much. There are still some inroads and I've spoken with the guys 
at amazon as recently as a month back; but that conversation isn't going 
anywhere beyond the interest factor.

Ideally, what I would like to do is get together some people who have an 
interest in this; not associated with any $commercial provider, and see 
if we can get some level of QA testing done. I dont really want anything 
'official' unless we can be sure that the user experience and 
expectations dont change drastically from a stock CentOS install.
