Firstly, I don't really like being told where I can and can't post. If the discussion is off-topic, then so is the topic IMHO.

Anyway, I don't really see the point of the blog post. All three 'clones' are what they are so there will be delay. It's the nature of the beast.

I am not a member of the scientific community, so I am free to choose the distribution that suits based on its merits. I do not use a clone as a bastion host for security reasons. Otherwise I choose SL based on my perception of the robustness distribution's support infrastructure. So far, I have been very impressed even if they are not "first out the door".
