CentOS should be putting out betas that match the RHEL betas so that you can get access to it before the release. Use Fedora as the technology driver, use Betas as the bugfix cleanup for platform issues, and eventually you get the "Enterprise" release.

We do put out major release beta's. There was a CentOS-4/beta as well as a CentOS-5/Beta.

Point releases's dont have public release upstream, which is why we dont get them, and we cant release them. If Redhat was to make those beta's public, we'd be more than happy to churn them out to the public.

And thats not only for the 'Distro', but also 'add on' stuff like the WebStack, MRG, IPA etc.
