It suggests that distributions should think about uniting forces.

More force could increase momentum, to be sure - but the silence from the Centos folks lately is cause for concern. I recently wrote to them (via the web form on their site) asking if they needed any help - hosting, building, testing - anything at all - and never got any response.

Yes, the CentOS devs' closed development process and silence on the mailing lists is worrisome. They seem to have no interest at all in help from the community. Also concerning is the lag time behind RHEL right now; I have moved all of our machines to Debian because I can't afford to lag several months behind on patches.
