Both CentOS and Scientific Linux *aim* at 100% binary compatibility and they are both doing their best toward that goal. However, neither is perfect.
That's interesting. So how is it they've managed to come out with 6.1 (and so long ago at that)?
At least partly matter of priorities. SL finally released 5.7 on 09/14/2011 and just released the LiveCD/DVDs 11/02/2011. They did provide "rolling" 5.x updates, analogous to CR, in the interim. CentOS went for 5.7 before 6.1.
