I don't think it will hurt Scientific at all and from what I have been reading it might make things easier and better. I (as a non-dev user, so take this opinion accordingly) see two things that might help: 1) the hidden process of how CentOS rebuilds the SRPMs is being opened up which should make CentOS even close to their binary-equivalent goal. 2) the variant ( http://centos.org/variants/ ) might actually make things easier if Scientific just wanted to start with a core base and build from there. I am sure there are going to be a dozen different spin-offs of CentOS for this reason alone. There are still a TON of details yet to be given, so we will see what is actually delivered, but this is great news for the community as a whole. Here is hoping that it makes things easier and better! Cheers! ~Stack~
