Quietly waiting for Red Hat to start cancelling subscriptions of people who pull SRPMS.
@matigo So YOU'RE the one! Damn, Jason. Cut it out!

@joeo10 CentOS's original founder is doing just that. The churn on GitHub is enough that I have quieted notifications. We'll see is there is any success there. Tall order.
@matigo Rolling releases are fine and dandy for personal systems. Production servers? Oh hell no.
@matigo A monolithic entity like that at the core of the OS goes counter to what made Unix Unix. It's a philosophical beef. Also, early on, their binary logging was idiotic. That has improved quite a lot over time. I will admit that.
Thankfully, CentOS's founder realizes the folly and comes to the rescue.

I had a sneaking suspicion they'd pull this eventually. Turning CentOS into RHEL's perpetual beta. Which, I thought, Fedora Core was more suitable for but oh well.

@matigo NOTE: The box doesn't see much use now as the stuff is mostly in private GitHub repos now. One less thing to have to admin.
