Why isn't SL released yet ... why did Oracle only release it last week ... because it takes time and it is hard.
Oracle released RHEL 5.6 on january 12th. Scientific Linux has a rolling release since early february.
Given that Red Hat released 5.6 on Jan 13th, its interesting that you say Oracle had their build out on the 12th.
I meant to say january 20th, another lapsus on my part:

And I think its also quite clear that we don't really give a rat's ass about what Oracle or SciLinux are doing.
Then Johnny shouldn't have brought it up, should he ? I was simply filling in the facts.
For those without a LWN subscription, the discussion was mentioned on LWN:

which, incidentally, is where I got that Oracle release date from.
