Soon means we will post when something changes.

The last update is still correct.

The CentOS project has the domain names in question, we have released
4.8, we have some packages from 5.4 in question, and everything is 100%
solved from a technical stand point.

Basically CentOS is exactly what it was before any of this happened from
a technical standpoint.

Updates to packages are happening within 24 hours, 5.4 is on track and
will soon be pushed soon.

If you want a multi-billion dollar corporation behind your Linux
distribution, then use RHEL nad pay for it.

If you want what you have gotten from CentOS for the last 5 years, you
are getting that now.

Do we have to have this conversation again?

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
