The problem is that when C6.0 will be released, it is likely that RHEL 6.1 will be already released. So there will be no security updates for C6.0, and it will be better to stay under SL6, until the release of C6.1. I already installed three machines under SL6, and it works fine.

Once 6.0 packages are figured out (how to compile them), newer versions of those packages in 6.1 will be much easier to compile, so I expect no more then one month to pass from C6.0 to C6.1

Do you expect the C6.0 -> C6.1 differences to be more complex, or less complex than the C5.5 -> C5.6 differences ?

And given that C5.6 took 3 months, are there any reasons why C6.1 would take no more than 1 month ?
