Hi Ernie,

Yeah, it pays off that the CentOS team did let itself get bought
("sponsored") by RedHat. So the collaboration between them is now a lot
closer. Which certainly helped to kick CentOS 7 out of the door a lot
faster.

Totally unchanged: We'll support it as well and there will be 5209R
ISO's for it, too.

It could even be that I can't build the Centos 7 ISO for 5209R until SL7
is out. Go figure.

I haven't yet checked if the Revisor on Centos 7 works (which it usually
didn't in prior versions) Or if they crippled Anaconda on purpose again.
If nothing has changed and they crippled it again, then I might need to
wait for the SL7 release. Because they usually have a working Revisor
that I need for CD-building.

FWIW: Despite two utterly chaotic days (which left little time for work)
I just scratched another item from the to-do-list:

The new RPM format for the GUI RPMs has been decided on and the
"sausalito-devel-tools" can now build RPMs with either the old GUI, the
new GUI or both. It's a hellish mess of Makefiles, Perl-Scripts and
Shell-Scripts, but finally it works.

So for the first time in four weeks I might allow myself to go to bed
before 3:00 a.m. instead. \o/
