Sounds like you want Centos + Extras then. Or maybe Extras isn't up to date enough, and some people may need to create a new 'Current' repo for Centos.
If you are referring to EPEL with Extras, EPEL should not move faster than RHEL, and, as far as I can tell, a 'Current' repo for Centos doesn't exist.
Well I suspected from my usage that EPEL with Extras does not move faster. Hence why I suggested that those interested may want to create a 'Current' repo. To pull in newer packages that they feel are stable. I am aware that such doesn't exist, and 'Current' is just a placeholder for the idea. I myself see little value in it, but some seem to.
Are there any distros which are very current, stable _and_ source of a lot of development in the Linux/FOSS community? Seems to me, that once can any given distro can only have two out of three of those properties.
IMHO: If dropping any idea of stability meant a 50% (just an arbitrary positive number) increase in dev productivity, I'm all for it.
