My last post here noted that Red Hat ran a four month beta program, AFTER their internal stabilization. My blog post crossing 'planet.centos.org' made it clear that the CentOS team simply are not much driven to respond to 'popular demand' or press pressure, and more motivated to produce a durable product. Before that my post here noted that it was unlikely that few oterh than hard core developers who enjoyed pain would ever be able to do a yum transition from 5 to 6, as 6 is rather radically different 'under the hood' as to SELinux model
When people are inclined to carp about release pace, they might find it more profitable to look through the open wiki page on the release, or the open bugtrackker bugs, and document a solution for an unresolved issue, if they wanted to get a release sooner
