I don't think it will hurt Scientific at all and from what I have been
reading it might make things easier and better. I (as a non-dev user, so
take this opinion accordingly) see two things that might help:
1) the hidden process of how CentOS rebuilds the SRPMs is being opened
up which should make CentOS even close to their binary-equivalent goal.
2) the variant ( http://centos.org/variants/ ) might actually make
things easier if Scientific just wanted to start with a core base and
build from there. I am sure there are going to be a dozen different
spin-offs of CentOS for this reason alone.

There are still a TON of details yet to be given, so we will see what is
actually delivered, but this is great news for the community as a whole.
Here is hoping that it makes things easier and better! Cheers!
