The people working on CentOS are not the same people working on RHEL,
even if they're working in the same company.  And RHEL is still the
upstream source of CentOS.

So if CentOS decides to fix this on their own, they need to keep track
of this until it's fixed in RHEL and then remove their own fix.  Of
course SL could do that as well, but that can be a maintenance burden.

That's the downside of being a downstream distro.
