I've seen the posts over and over again about "when is 6 going tobe out?" I appreciate the time the developers put in to make cent os available. My main question about when is 6 going to be out is, does it really matter? 5.5 works just fine, so if it's not broke, why fix it?
Maybe because the RHEL/CentOS 5.5 kernel got several security issues already?

For some of us CentOS users, this is critical. Especially when there has been no security updates for CentOS 5 since early January.
It was the right decision to postpone CentOS 6 to get CentOS 5.6 out first. But it still have taken a lot longer than what we've been used to.
And for people going to do fresh installs of CentOS, it would be most likely better to aim directly for CentOS 6 than CentOS 5.5/5.6. But the waiting without knowing what to expect when, that is a frustration amplifier, especially for those having project deadlines.
