Hi Yasha,
Just a few short comments, answered inline.

A vendor professional systems person whom I know has been requested to
install SL 6 on a system that is being configured for us. In a
discussion with him, he gave me the opinion that his (vendor's)
experience with SL is that it is "buggier" than CentOS, and CentOS often
"fixes" RHEL bugs.

This is one of two myth's going around about CentOS.
The other myth is that CentOS is "100% Compatible" with RHEL.
I call these myth's because both of them cannot be correct.
Either CentOS fixes RedHat's bugs (which would break compatibility), or
CentOS is 100% Compatible.
I am not a developer for CentOS, so I cannot comment more.

... Although the future is
unclear for Fermilab with the imminent decommissioning of the Fermilab
accelerator, this professional status currently is correct.
Fermilab is not going anywhere.
The Tevitron will be shut down at the end of September. That will end
the current proton-antiproton collider run. But there are plenty of
fixed target and neutrino experiments currently going on, and plenty of
experiments for the future.
