Thanks, Stephen. I had not seen that, when I visited the site yesterday.

Why spread fear about something we don't really know that much about?
Like I said, the only issue is the stupid domain name.
What they say on the site:
Facts Regarding CentOS and the Open Letter to Lance
Davis<http://www.centos.org/>
CentOS is not dead or going away. The signers of the Open Letter are
fully
committed to continue the CentOS Project. Updates and new releases
will
continue.
The issues raised in the Open Letter have been raised privately
literally
for years and a voluntary resolution had been hoped for and worked
toward.
But progress requires follow through. We have tried contacting Lance
in
private for a long period of time before this Open Letter. While we
received
promises, there was no real response or follow through from him on
promises
made. We are sure he is not dead, on vacation, or sick. Once we all
decided
there was no movement in the matter we created the Open Letter. This
is not
something that appeared just recently.
We would really like to continue the project using the centos.org
domain.
That is one of the reasons for the Open Letter. But the developers
will move
to another domain if there is no other option. Protective backups
are in
place; hot machines exist to allow for a cutover with a simple one
time
installation of one RPM package. We continue to refine our plans if
this
might be the case, to make the transition as smooth as possible.
