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.

This is for their main RHEL-5 Tree.

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).

For CentOS-5 users that can not shift from EL5 workloads, Red Hat does offer EUS (Extended Update Support) past the 10 year point for RHEL-5. You can see this link for more info on EL5 EUS support:
