The FIRST build of a distribution (the .0 of 4.0 or 5.0) takes MUCH longer than the subsequent rebuilds. This is because you have NOTHING to start from except SRPMS. You also do not know the environment that upstream is using to run their "Build Roots" in. We also know nothing about which packages will and will not build as written (there are many that require us to research and provide hints to the build suystem. Hints are things that need to be added that are not called out in the SRPM).
CentOS 4.0 was released 23 days after RHEL4.0 CentOS 5.0 was released 29 days after RHEL5.0 CentOS 6.0 is *not* released 103 days after RHEL6.0

This is not a problem for me. I am contented to wait - en jij?
Hi Paul,
This was in a direct response to Johnny ;-) No worries, I put the context back so it's clear *why* I replied this. It's not that I am impatient for CentOS 6.0. In fact I switched to RHEL6.
Regardless, I do think CentOS 5.6 is much more important than CentOS 6.0. As there is a direct security impact to users.
