The Centos project has its issues; there is no question about that. Other projects like Debian and Gentoo have planned for these type of situations and setup foundations because they understand that the project is bigger than any one or two contributers. It's extremely sad that the Centos team did not have the same foresight or that someone took an early holiday for sysadmin day and that caused it to come to light. I just didnt like all the articles I was reading saying centos is dead or were doomed etc etc ... And I like that saying You can have a cathedral or a bazaar, but you can’t have a cathedral-esque bazaar”. Oh don’t get me wrong :) .

It's a shame that it took something like that for the leader to hand back control I don't remember who said it, but one of the comments on the article I put up yesterday was right on. He said "You can have a cathedral or a bazaar, but you can't have a cathedral-esque bazaar". I think the real eye opener was that the project was allowed to get to that state.
