[OT] Is there a future for CentOS or systems to run on your web server

[Peter Alcibiades]

They'll work through it.  Sad as it is, the team should have taken action
quite a while ago - well, they apparently did take some sort of action quite
a while back, but didn't do it forcefully or urgently enough.  In a month or
so, the thing will probably be resolved and with more precautions to not be
so dependent on one guy in future.  

Remember, its not the code or the archives.  Its basically only some money
and some passwords to servers that they cannot get their hands on.  Its not
like it is a company going bust and taking the source code with it.  So its
hard to see any great urgency about moving from CentOS in the short term,
the team is going to take it forward one way or another.

Remember what happened to xfree86?  It was a similar situation.  Once people
decide to move, which it takes a lot to make them, it turns on a dime.

Personally if moving I'd go to Debian Stable, not Ubuntu.  If you're
thinking about moving to Ubuntu find out about the release schedule, how its
done, what its based on first.  You will end up with Debian if stability
matters.  But that's another issue....
