okay, your expectations about a program ever changing what its command
line arguments are (even between major version changes) is unreasonable
and frankly not pleasant.

The api has remained consistent for rhel and centos in 5. The feature
set and speed has been enhanced.

I'm not going to continue this discussion on this list. If you have a
problem with what centos ships, take it up on a centos list. If you have
a problem with what rhel ships take it up with your sales rep or
technical account manager.

It is offtopic for this list.
