Yep. And I'm the very first to point out that if you're going
to whine, cry, bitch and complain, go do it to someone paid to
listen to you. Part of the cost of the support entitlement at
Redhat goes to paying people to man phones and sales reps to
deal with such. After all, Redhat is a publicly traded
company, they would love to have your business _and_ you'd
actually be supporting CentOS' upstream provider in the process.
But the concept of throwing money at CentOS, a *volunteer*
project, in the deluded and mistaken belief that it will fix all
the wrongs in the world is just ludicrous. With money comes
overhead, management, accountability, multi-national taxation,
ad nauseum. Oh, and the fact that it doesn't solve what people
perceive as "issues".
