The RHEL 6.5 source was out Nov 21
http://www.redhat.com/about/news/press-archive/2013/11/red-hat-launches-latest-version-of-red-hat-enterprise-linux-6

By Nov 27 ORCL had a corresponding OL 6.5 release.

Dec 1st came CentOS, 2013

So... I'm happy to see that RHAT has joined forces with the community to
get CentOS get releases out faster. ;) And since we're talking beta not
final versions, I guess I little delay is no big deal.

In the end we all benefit from competition, case in point:

Linux containers (LXC),

DTrace support ported from Solaris

PHP 5.5.10 with Dtrace enabled...

Newer kernels for testing @ Playground
http://public-yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL6/playground/latest/x86_64/

So, I kinda welcome some much needed competition to RHEL. Specially on the
pricing front if you want faster fixes via paid support

But that is just me. I also have a CentOS box just to have the baseline
code that everyone runs....
Competition IS good, "a rising tide lifts all the boats", so to speak.
