Any of you following the current CentOS controversy? Management
issues, lack of communication, lack of manpower, timeliness of
releases and security updates. Ie, after RHEL 5.6 was released, it
took 3 months to get CentOS 5.6 released. And a full 6 months after
RHEL 6 was released, there is still no CentOS 6.
A lot of the community is migrating to Scientific Linux. Just
wondering if any of you have, or are considering making the switch.

I haven't been following the controversy, but I've moved away from
CentOS in the last year because I got tired of dealing with stale
packages. While I understand that RHEL/CentOS drive toward stability
and not being on the bleeding edge, being several minor releases back
on packages like PostgreSQL and Ruby was really keeping some of the
functionality/improvements I wanted/needed from being utilized.

In addition to Cent issues, redhat changed things for rhel6. In past
releases patches were listed numerically in the repos, so building
(reverse engineering) was easier. A coworker seems to feel the 5.6
release seems have worn then down as well, and they just plain need more
people.
