You certainly do not have to wait for CentOS. The SRPMS are available from the upstream vendor. Why not start your own rebuild project?
Perhaps because I have better things to do in my life? :)
That's a beautiful and useful answer ... (not joking) so why not considering that CentOS developers (who are not paid for that and still do that on their free time , when they are not busy with their jobs) can also have sometimes priorities ? Can't they be sick/ill ? Can't they spend time with their kids/family during Xmas time ? Sorry but i've never read somewhere on the CentOS website that devteam members are 'slave' from centos users :-) I personally prefer an 'happy' centos contributor/developer who will spend a reasonable time on CentOS on a long run than a dev spending all his time on centos and breaking relationship with his family (don't get me wrong, i've never said that it was the case here either !) and/or having a 'burn out' effect on a short run ...
The real question that people wanting a CentOS 6 release should ask to themselves is : "What have I personally done to help ?" There was a public call to help producing CentOS 6 .. Look at the result : only *one* person (out of the 'usual suspects' to use Karanbir's words) spent one or two hours to reviewed those branding issues bug filed on bugs.centos.org.
What do people from the CentOS devteam have to conclude ? I let you answer yourself ...:-)
