Yeah, I think the whole selling-point of CentOS was that it was
near-identical to RHEL but free.  That makes it great as a
test/development platform, or for production for cheapskates.  In
theory binaries that run on one would run on the other, and so on.

I still haven't read up on the gory details of the change - I never
used CentOS or RHEL myself.  However, I can see the appeal of that
sort of LTS platform for enterprise solutions, especially in more
traditional IT organizations.
