Numerous issues over the past few years.  One of the main guys who
controlled both the finances and the domain just up and disappeared and
wouldn't get back to anyone.  Another main developer up and quitting because
of problems in the organization.  There's been issues related to the core
team not wanting to let anyone help them, which is why CentOS 5.6 and CentOS
6 is delayed.
