So, according to this article the Red Hat "liaison with the CentOS project" said: « we went to the CentOS project and said, here is a thing Red Hat is going to do. We believe there are consequences of this action... the end result was the decision that got made by the project » Something doesn't seem right, if CentOS is really a project capable of making its own decisions as he's trying to make it appear. If that was the case, I wouldn't expect that the first thing the public to hear about the change would be the announcement that CentOS-in-its-previous-form was being discontinued. I would expect to hear the board saying « Red Hat say they're no longer going to invest in CentOS in its current form. If nobody comes forward to invest with money or staff, we'll have to discontinue it. »
