BlueQuartz did not "start" on Fedora, it used the original Sun/Cobalt RaQ550 source, which in turn were based on RedHat. That was back in 2003 and the first version of CentOS came out in 2004, with a focus on what became RHEL while Fedora has been from the get go being aimed at a mainly desktop distribution. Two different targets, two different philosophies...

So what? CentOS is (as the abreviation suggests) aimed at Enterprise level/server oriented usage. In such environment, which suites the purpose of BlueOnyx as well, it is more important to have a mature and reliable base than being right at the "bleeding edge". That's what a lot of folks who can't wait to get the lastest just for the latest sake don't understand and than start to stir up a storm in the waterglass. "Patience is a virtue"...
