Sigh..., It's complicated. I want stability and reliable security
updates. But I don't like being dependent on any single entity to
provide that. Maybe that goes back to relying on some AT&T unix
systems in what seems like another life. Even though semi-compatible
alternatives were available, being forced to change was somewhat
painful. So I don't necessarily want wide-open, just a little more
open than being married.
I don't really think the CentOS team has an evil plan here, but they
should take it as a compliment that I think they are smart enough to
fool me if they did want to do something like inject a hidden backdoor
with their builds. But, the bigger question is where it leaves us if
they just decide to quit after assimilating most of the related
systems under a build ecosystem that no one else can reproduce easily.
