Just a message to remind everyone that CentOS-5 has an End of Life date of March 31, 2017.
This means that there will be no new security updates released by Red Hat for RHEL-5 after that date.
Sometime in early April, the current 5.11 tree will be moved onto vault.centos.org (like CentOS-3 and CentOS-4 have been since their EOL).
Will the centos-release package be updated to point to the vault tree?
I am not sure we want to enable that by default. We want people to understand that CentOS-5 is no longer active.
There is a CentOS-Vault.repo file that one can use, or people can change it manually.
If it happens automatically, well then people will just leave it in place.
