As far as I can tell, it is as simple as this:-
The volunteers that create CentOS like things the way it is and it isn't likely
to change. We seen it said a number of times, if we don't like it then go
somewhere else. I suggest there might be room for another rebuild project that
is open to commercially sponsored, i.e. somewhere else. This would n't be a
'rival' because its aims would be different. I'll be honest though, I don't
realistically see enough money coming in to put people full-time onto it,
though, when you consider market rate for the skills required.
