Don't you think there is something slightly farcical about posting messages suggesting people should stop posting messages?
V5.6 will be done when it's done, okay?
I don't think the OP did ask when 5.6 would be ready. What he/she said, IIRC, was that Karanbir had suggested that 5.6 would be out last week, and he/she was asking if there had been a problem.
This seems a perfectly reasonable question to me.
Personally, I am very grateful to Karanbir and his accomplices for what I find an excellent OS, and I don't really care when 5.6 or 6 come out, as the present version works perfectly well for me.
However, I don't think people who ask reasonable questions politely should be castigated for doing so.

It has been suggested that asking such questions makes the release even later. So that's why people frantically condemn such threads, we are all being collectively punished !

To my eyes it looked very much like a "when will it be done"-post yet again. Maybe I was too harsh, maybe not. I'll just ignore those posts in the future. Let's leave it at that.

This is exactly the point. I can add that all my CentOS servers are on an internal network, that I can consider as secure, so the release of 5.6 is not critical for me. I can wait for next week, or the week after, or even after, no problem for me. But indeed, as Karanbir suggested that the release of 5.6 was almost ready, I was just asking for news a week after.
This seems a perfectly reasonable question to me.
To me too...

Yes. And my opinion is that a "Community project" should inform its community on a regular basis, at least once a week. I don't ask for news every hours.
