I can assure you that CentOS is community driven. The entire CentOS 7 building and release process is open to the community via: http://seven.centos.org/ All the build/root logs and even all the QA was open via: http://buildlogs.centos.org/ (the actual mock configs, build repos, etc. are available there in the c7* directories while the QA builds are in the centos/ directory) Everything done for CentOS 7 was completely open to the community from start to finish ... no other Enterprise distro is currently operating with this kind of community openness.
