Are infinality patches still being updated? Those were about the only reason I could tolerate a standard Centos or RHEL desktop, but I'd heard the maintainer 'disappeared' and nobody has picked them back up.

Why would it be an insult? I agree that if you went to a boot camp for 3 months and then began calling yourself a software engineer, it's a bit misleading. But what's the cut off line? My CS program was in my school's college
