yes..Centos is one RHEL rebrand.  WBEL is another.  While i switched 
from WBEL to Centos seeing you as a Centos maintainer telling folks to 
switch because WBEL is dead or whatnot frankly makes me embarrassed for 
Centos.  Let them do as they will.  If they choose to come over to 
Centos that's great. If not then let them be.  Trying to take users from 
a distro they have decided they wish to use just isn't right.  The 
thinly vieled attempt to have the users come over by saying"it's the 
same distro" doesn't hold water.  ubuntu is based on debian but i have 
yet to find anyone that says ubuntu IS debain.  Ubuntu is it's own 
distro regardless of it's roots.  The same goes for WBEL and CentOS.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
