Dear developers,
I don't care for reasons, arguments, or flamefests. I need to plan my workload.
By now I have half a dozen servers overdue for reimaging. I can put this off for another week or two, but not really much longer.
There's obviously no point in installing centos 5 on any new machine.
So I need to know: is there any point in my waiting another week, or should I just say 'screw it' and start scheduling SL roll-outs.
Thank you in advance Dima

I don't understand. CentOS 5.6 is out - I've been rolling it out for well over a week.
Or did you mean 6.0?

He meant 6, that's why he mentioned SL, I think.
You should at least wait "a few days" upon making a decision, see: https://twitter.com/#!/centos
You should also remember that CentOS is a community effort and not RHEL.

If you want to deploy 6.0 within two weeks then you need to use Scientific Linux.

So long and thanks for all the fish.

I am not so sure about that. If you need the machine up today, install 5.6 on it -- you can always upgrade later. If you want bleeding edge software install Fedora Core 14. Otherwise sit tight. Hassling the developers is not going to make CentOS 6 show up any sooner.
I know that if I needed a server up this week or next week, I'd go ahead and install CentOS 5.6. (And I would have installed CentOS 5.5 back before CentOS 5.6 was released.)

CentOS-5.x has an EOL data of March 31, 2014. I deploy new 5.x servers all the time.
3 years is half of the useful lifetime of the distribution.
But, if people have to make a decision and deploy within the new 2 weeks, then I would not be waiting for 6.0 to be released during that time.
We might have a tree with installable net images by then.

I meant to say "IN QA" by then :)
