Then we disagree.

That's the whole point Russ - members of the Community don't know what's going on with *their* Community Enterprise OS because there is no dissemination of information. What I *do* "know" is that 5.3 took ~10 weeks to release, and before that 4.7 took ~7 weeks. We are already 6 weeks into the 4.8 release cycle with no news of how it's progressing or when a release is to be expected. Prior to this, update sets typically took ~4 weeks to release. Struggling? Maybe/maybe not. Struggling within a reasonable time frame - depends on your definition of reasonable and time frame I guess. Perhaps this is where we disagree above. Anyway, as I said previously, I would rather see the CentOS Project concentrate on the core product and do a really good job on that (i.e, a move closer to the old 4 week release lag than the current 10 week release lag), and I would much rather see this than effort diluted by taking on a contrib repo. > I would note that from the earliest days of RPMForge, Dag > offered, and indeed granted comit rights to me, which I have > not used.
