CentOS-4 and 5 are built using the mock-0.6 packages, thats unlikely to
change unless there is a good reason - speed / performance wins on
desktop machines with low resource levels are are not a good reason.
Sticking with the process that works and does what it needs to in a
reliable manner is worth a lot more. Of course, there are things that
are important from the distro perspective, you are welcome to use
whatever your site preferences might be.
For CentOS-6, yes were going to clearly need a more recent mock. If you
are building for c6 now, use the epel packages that should be a good
base to develop from.
