I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT


Seriously though, the change was brought up over a month ago on the 
-devel list. When we're asking for feedback about possible changes, it's
on the -devel list, because it's about the development of the distro. If 
you want to give input for the direction of the distro, that's the place 
to do it. I would encourage anyone who's interested to join.

I didn't see any indication there that you were planning to turn the
/etc/redhat-release file into a symlink.   And even if I had I
probably wouldn't have thought specifically that it was going to break
ocsinventory-ng, although pretty much every unnecessary and arbitrary
change breaks something.

And besides there's not much reason to think that user comments are
ever read on the -devel list.  Like this one, for example:

Strange - I thought this mailing list was named Centos Users !

In CentOS, /etc/redhat-release has always been a symlink to 
/etc/centos-release.
