I am pretty sure that Red Hat does not publish the "Extended Update
Support" source files on their FTP site. Do you know of a public place
where those SRPMS are at?

My understanding of this program is that the SRPMS are only suppled to
the specific customers.

An infinity of potentially 'worthwhile projects' exist ... but
CentOS is about being a strict rebuild, with trademark and
branding fixups. To the extent THIS project starts getting
into the back porting, we have people start to relying on such
'out of scope' efforts .... and then we 'draw fire' for not
meeting someone's need or expectations beyond being a strict
rebuild.

I don't see that we at CentOS should be doing that
