Hi,
This is my last e-mail for the day.  I'm going to go home and think, but 
here are some thoughts.

First - I think that for at least S.L. 5.0 we should do it completely 
independent of CentOS.  That is for both CentOS's and SL's good.  RHEL5 
has so many different changes in the way they are doing things, that SL 
and CentOS are probably going to do very different things.  I think this 
is a good thing, so that we can look at both ways of making a 
distribution, and determining which, if any, is best.
So, I'm planning on forging ahead with S.L. 5.0 on our own, no matter 
what we decide for S.L. 5.1.

Cons:
CentOS does *not* have an open development cycle.  There are no beta's. 
  For the average user, it just comes.

Troy
