With all do respect, you are as bad as they are when it comes to exeggaration. I do not want to get into who started first, or who uses it more. My view from the distance is that you and CentOS devs have personal issues bordering on physical confrontation. I have seen and am seeing both sides twisting the facts to serve their needs. And the truth is you both have some valid points, but as long as (all of) you keep saying that your way is the best way there can be no resolution.

When I said on one of the lists that even my personal life is held up by C6 release, I got personal e-mail with appologies that it takes so long. So devs are not hostile to everyone, but I can feel with (not justify) them when they respond harshly of what they see as personal attacks.

And other part of the problem is that guys on your side are trying to out out a flame with gasoline ("funny way to spell water"), so devs respond in general, and not specificaly to your question/concern. And this happend on both sides and constantly.

As for opennes, term "Open source" does not mean "open process", and they are not obligated to divulge anything, that part is common practice and a norm for development projects. CentOS is a rebuild not a development project, as I see it.
