I believe this wouldn;t be a big problem (although
I do not know any of CentOS people in person..):
after all we are already a (rather loose) collaboration
of people from around the world ..

I was thinking of future scientificlinux as something
similar: an add on repo alike centosplus.

Certianly we should: but lets first try to clarify our
own position / interest in such move ...

Cheers && Thanks for feedback
