The CentOS folks are kind enough to do that for me.

Recompiling Fedora, though, is not as trivial as you seem to imply. It takes the CentOS team two weeks to a month to make the much smaller and more stable recompiled RHEL available after a new release. (Though individual package/security updates are lightning fast to arrive.)

Well I didn't mean the entire OS. Just OpenSSH.

If you want a entire new OS, just use Debian or CentOS! :D
