Ok, it was just quite surprising that you went ahead and posted that content anyway. To me, it was the start of a conversation and not that you would post a question to finish it off. My mistake on that.
We are not pushing the RHEL Betas by mentioning it on the wiki, are we ?
Putting it on the Download page, we most certainly are pushing it.
And yes I contacted Red Hat via 3 different people and I am awaiting feedback. One person pushed it internally within Red Hat.
Is there anything that we could do from an @centos point of view or people who might be spoken with ? We can all push upstream to open the beta program up on a personal level, however doing it as a community might carry more weight ? perhaps ? I've just emailed the guys at SciLinux to see what their opinion on the subject is and if they would like to join in the effort requesting an open beta.
btw, upstream seemed quite firm on not doing so ( my impression again ) when the same issue was quite hotly contested as a sub-issue in the fedora-devel conversation about wikipedia's move to ubuntu and implications / fallouts from that.
I have no problem to discuss it, or change it, or move it to another part, or even remove if completely. But I do object to the communication-by-wiki style. And I do object to the fact that if you disagree with something it seems to be the law.

That is why I put it back and answered your question where it was asked, through the wiki comments.
my bad, perhaps a s/?/!/ would have gone down better in the comment log ( which by the way, we should all do a lot more of - add comments to commits )
