I already panicked and started the move of one of our servers over to Ubuntu Hardy.

I'm worried for CentOS, continuing this saga with an open letter and a picture of a possibly stubborn leader is going to hurt. I think it's time to go tight lipped, have a conference call, hash it out and make things right.

Then make an announcement about all the GREAT things that came out of the call and how CentOS is on the verge of greatness with its new found community guidelines.

But programmers are not PR or Marketing guys usually, we're quite sensitive about our work, so I'm leery this will just turn into a public mud slinging battle.

You panicked and started a migration because you didn't have the patience to wait a few days to see what happens?

[jonursenbach]

Really? You really migrated servers over to another distro within a few days of hearing the the project manager had gone AWOL?

You do realise that you can stick with the same distro forever and just patch all of your packages manually, don't you?

A few hours actually. It was just 1 server. I'm sorry if it looked like I said more. I do patch manually already.

If there are two ships going out to sea, and the ship where I've already loaded my luggage all of a sudden has crew members running around screaming "where's the captain, where's the captain, he's been gone for months." You know.... I'm just going to take my bags and put them on the other ship and not worry about it anymore. I don't need any more stress in my life, there's already PLENTY of that.
