Which makes it pretty useless.

According to this  http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa the mirrors started
syncing  last Tuesday. How long does it normally take for everything to sync

Bollocks. this IS the only place to post to, as information is sorely
lacking.

Really this whole release cycle has been a complete balls up.

the little information we have such as  http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa  has
no history, and changed every week.

now the you have posted some new information at
http://qaweb.dev.centos.org/qa/dashboard  of which I, and I would say most
others, were unaware of, which implies that the release has been delayed yet
again.

For goodness sake I hope that the next release will be more transparent and
professional. It really does not look good for CentOS and open source in
general.
