Last time there was only one build queue, so if 5.6 and 6 come out at the

have the multi-million dollar infrastructure to support multiple

releases.
Just a quick note here - the centos buildsystem, as used for centos4 and 5 has 8 builder 'threads'. So there is a fairly good potential for rapid builds.
Having said that, were not going to use those for centos6, we have a 6 node dedicated builder service that will get used for this.
Over the next few days I'll post details on how you guys can keep track of whats going on. I'll also post some details on how everyone can get involved and help.
Exciting times for sure :)
This is very exciting. This also creates a tremendous amount of work for
the
CentOS team. I for one would like to thank the CentOS team for their
continued
efforts as well as thanking them in advance for all the work that will go
into
building CentOS 6. You have my utmost respect and appreciation.

We should also thank RedHat for if no RedHat then no CentOS.
Absolutely. Red Hat does a tremendous amount of heavy lifting to produce RHEL, without which there would be no CentOS. Red Hat also gets paid pretty well to do so, and unless I am mistaken the CentOS team does not. In any case, I appreciate the work of Red Hat and the CentOS team.
