    It's more than that.

    Troy was also contributing personal time to Ascendos, a totally open project in light of problems with CentOS' closed development (open in the development project, so anyone at any time could fork the whole development and all the tools involved).

    While CentOS is nice, you get what you get, and they're not about to share all the secret sauce they have figured out which you'd need to fork your own CentOS-like build process.

    I suspect if Ascendos takes off, it could easily replace CentOS and/or cause many more CentOS build-process forks.
