	Why in the world would you opt to skip updates?  How is updating
	your system an annoyance?

	5.X are just point-in-time snapshots of CentOS 5 and all patches
	leading up to the time that 5.X was released.  Updates are a 
	continuing process that will occur for the lifetime of the
	release.

	Yes, bite the bullet and update.
