This is a good point. We should embrace diversity where it helps show 
our community as being diverse, and when it does not adversely affect 
our ability to administer our network. I don't think it's a good idea to 
have a different operating system on each server we run, but certainly 
within reason, CentOS can be used. And now that we have clarified that 
we can have RHEL entitlements in the future, we have RHEL as an option 
for other servers.

Let's implement the pre-Christmas decision of the infrastructure team 
and move on.

Cheers,
Dave.
