Thanks Rainer.

The dilemma is whether to upgrade from 5.6 to 6.1 or stay with 5.x as
more 5.x versions (5.8, 5.9, 5.10 etc. might be possible). For me the
only negative aspect of 5.x is old kernel 2.6.18 whereas 6.x is 2.6.32?

Is there any easy method of discovering Red Hat's 5.x intentions
post-5.7 ?

Will the Centos volunteers, who do a marvellous job, be willing to
convert any future 5.x versions in addition to the 6.x versions,
effectively giving them a double workload in addition to their normal
full-time paying-jobs ?
