How about the rest of you? What are you looking forward to in CentOS 6 when it is released?
For me the big wins with CentOS 6 should be SSSD to simplify and centralise (on the machine) network authentication and (hopefully!) graphics drivers which work with our hardware out-of-the box.
Yes, SSSD is of interest to me too. The last version I used was sufficiently less adept at matching winbind or nss_ldap in functionality that it wasn't all the good for use against Active Directory. I'm assuming nested group handling has improved somewhat since I last tried it with CentOS 5, which was the killer when I last tried.
It certainly sounds like a massively improved model compared to nss_ldap, you'd hope for much better resilience and performance.
I'm not sure I see graphics drivers as a big deal. Have your own local repo, add in a suitable package from elrepo, and install it at kickstart time.
