But the real question is, do you want to use EL6. I personally would only roll out testing stuff on EL 6 at this point (be it SL 6.0, Oracle UBL 6.0, RHEL 6.0, etc.). CentOS 5 still has 3 years of normal support before its retirement date, and is much more mature at this point (IMHO).
In this business, mature is a synonym for ancient. But the bigger issue is that 3 years out may not cover the lifespan of a newly deployed server that you'd really like to keep running with nothing more complicated than 'yum update'.
