Crazy idea. Why doesn't Red Hat step up and help CentOS navigate this problem? They do benefit from the existence of CentOS, after all. A CentOS user is far more likely to switch to RHEL than to a completely different distribution. If the CentOS project suffers, so does RHEL indirectly (yes, they have Fedora but it's not the same thing). Or perhaps they're waiting for the influx of panicked CentOS users to switch to REHL.
