A 9 month lag behind RHEL is a feature? You are either misunderstanding something or just trolling.

It is really great when others tell me what I need to run on my server.
Just to be clear, you do know that CentOS is a binary compatible compilation of RHEL? The distro is not about adding feature or improvements or spinning their own from scratch. There is no need to wait for it to become "fairly stable" it just tracks RHEL. If RHEL is unstable, then CentOS is going to be unstable. That is the point of it. Claiming that their lag was on purpose is a little dishonest I think.
