    Hence why a merger wouldn't be so far-fetched. I'll see if I can find more literature on it. So far the best I have found is that one of the maintainers of WhiteBox also works on CentOS, according to the CentOS forum:

    I finally got the White Box web site this morning, and they had no mention of a merger, either.

    There are many GNU/Linux mergers that would not be far-fetched, and this one would certainly make considerable sense, in that they both have the same code base and, seemingly, the same user base. Scientific Linux has a little different user base, but a merger there makes some sense, too.

    I'll keep poking around also, to see if I can find anything else about this.
