[colug-432] RedHat and CentOS buddy-up

[Joshua Kramer]

Strange... the CentOS mailing list and RedHat's official statements appear

http://community.redhat.com/centos-faq/
Will this new relationship change the way CentOS obtains Red Hat Enterprise
Linux source code? Yes. Going forward, the source code repository at
git.centos.org will replace and obsolete the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
source rpms on ftp.redhat.com.
