Jarek, as I understand, Troy wrote only about SL5. I think it's reasonably -- time frame for RHEL 5 releasing is very short and very dangerous take risking with a such cardinally changing of development model. But for future releases something kind of merging resources with CentOS (and may not only CentOS) will be reasonably. What do you think about preparing something roadmap for such merging? I think, the first step in this plan must be beginning discuss about such collaboration with CentOS maintainers and community (as we can see in this thread, we don't have something contacts with them). But for starting, we must carefully understand: what we may and what we need. And the same information we must get form CentOS people. For information: we started merging resources of Linux-community in Russia ~3-4 years ago, and only at this time we may speak about something progress in this way :) PS. Troy, did you remember our discussing about SL & CentOS merging in OpenSource World 2005 at Moscow ;)? Best regards! --Oleg
