But, especially for the major server functionality, I think that using the official RHEL versions is the smartest thing to do whenever possible ... specifically because of the backporting policy in my other e-mail (they will roll back security issues without breaking current installs).
In my view (again, this is just my opinion), the whole purpose for CentOS is to give you the stability of RHEL ... and changing server packages to newer versions defeats that purpose.
Agree 100% otherwise I would be use GEntoo or Debian with backports or something like that. the whole point of RHEL is to have few changes as possible over release years so servers are maintainable. This is why Centos seems good...... more like RHEL. Please dont start adding new packages here and there just for sake of having new versions.
Max.
