I am going to attempt to drive getting Hobbit added to the Centos Plus repository, but first we need to figure out a few things:

1. Who will create and maintain the RPMs
   I'd rather someone with experience creating and maintaining distribution packages do this, but if all else fails I will volunteer.

One reason why I hesitate to contact the various distributions is that I
don't know what their normal practice is for package maintainers. Some
- like Red Hat - have their own team, others depend on volunteers. And
some just pick up one of their distribution brethren.

Red Hat offers other monitoring tools and solutions (i.e. a plugin for RHN Satelitte and Red Hat Command Center) that they are pushing, so I think Hobbit is more likely to make its way into RHEL5 through Cent OS or the EPEL repos (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL).
