I agree with Tim. CentOS does need to do a much better job communicating with their customers. And, yes, we are customers.
No, we are not customers in the strict sense, as that implies a purchase or some other consideration is given for a product. Users, yes. Customers, no. Community members? Perhaps. Licensees? Yes, and all of the responsibilities of agreeing to the GPLv2 for the distribution as a whole apply.
Along with that, the "public facing" members of the Community/developers need to be better communicators. Statements like "This is how it's going to be. I suggest you familiarize yourself with it" aren't endearing to the project.
From where I sit, I have seen much improvement in the project's communications as well as in how well the project leads communicate. Do we need reminders of the situation between the releases of 4.10, 5.6, and 6.0? Perhaps there can be more improvement, but I'm also going to be sure to state that the improvements that have already been made are very welcome.
