"Well, that party is over. Last week Dag publicly announced he was
resigning from CentOS development work, seemingly over development
team communication issues. In the comments there, Dag specifically
suggests Scientific Linux as the right distribution to move to now,
saying "their process is more open and the people are actually
friendly to feedback."
Still no centos 6 but SL6 is looks to be going strong thanks again! I
haven't had time to try SL6 yet but I hear it has some nice features
to share memory between kvm vms.

Nate, after surviving over a decade of RedHat/Fedora, Mandrake/Mandriva,
and Ubuntu groups this is the most civilized group I've run across in
the Linux world. (Mint is not bad. But, it's tainted by Ubuntu.)
Even the BSD groups I visted are more civilized than the nain Linux
groups. And as I say, so far this group stands head and shoulders over
all the other related groups I've monitored.
Kudos folks.

IMHO I suspect that's largely an academic thing. [Some] UNIX/Linux ML
mentality versus the typical academics instinct to share knowledge and
assist others couldn't be further apart.
Most scientists by definition are bright people and don't tend to feel
the need to constantly prove themselves on public mailing lists.
