Is this safe to use ?

You are not obliged to use them. If you are happy with the CentOS or CentOSplus Kernel then you do not need to install those. There are rare occasions when people have issues, they file against upstream bugzilla and a test kernel is recommended.
It goes without saying that the kernels are unsupported by both CentOS and upstream.

These are the RHEL-5.3 *Beta* kernels.
They are pretty stable, but they are beta releases so you will be performing QA for the upcoming 5.3 release. If they fix an issue for you then feel free to use them if you like, otherwise stick with the official distro kernel(s).

I would personally recommend to use the upstream kernels from Red Hat instead. My main motivation is that if you need to report a problem, you can do so directly to Red Hat without risking it to be a specific rebuild problem.

If those are just 5.3 beta kernels then it is best to just use the upstream ones to fix any immediate issues and avoid repackaging issues.
Perhaps the OP David Hrbáč's talents can be utilised elsewhere in CentOS such as php which people ask for and they are told it is in testing for 5 years?

The problem lies somewhere else: None of the people who use that php from testing are ever reporting back. It is built, but does not get any "thumbs up" (or "thumbs down").

Ralph, you are not right this time. I remember at least 2-3 posts about running testing php perfectly/successfully. David Hrbáč
BTW: We are still having not patched php-pecl-apc in CentosPlus. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1488 I have sent post on 10.12.2008 with updated spec file. No reply till now.

Hrm. Can you please file a bug with bugs.centos.org? Thank you very much.

I would guess what was said by Dag here http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2009-January/070168.html applies here as well?

Not for everyone, as we tests kernels intensively and on a large volume of machines, web need easy way. So yum repo is the point, not mentioning we can't and we even do not want to redistribute RH's rpms. Regards, David Hrbáč

I dont see the point in building those kernels against the centos base - what are you hoping to achieve with that ?
