I'm most likely going to make the hop from FC to CentOS in the next several months, and wonder whether I should wait for CentOS 5.

If you went with CentOS 4, you'd be going back to circa FC 3, while CentOS 5's upstream RHEL5 is derived from FC6.
Since I run FC2, that wouldn't be what you think.

How many hours are you able to wait?

I have been looking at a similar hop, FC6->CentOS5 and playing with the CentOS5 Beta. It has inherited the same bugs which annoy me that introduced into FC6.
Since CentOS 5 is based on FC6, it will probably be the last one to separate HDA and SDA. (Blasted M$ spell checker keeps changing HDA to HAD on my behalf).

Does this mean that I can take an FC6 rpm and 'plunk' it in a CentOS5?

Probably, but it would still be better to rebuild packages on CentOS 5.

It might be out in the next few weeks. By past performances of the CentOS team, a final release is very near to two weeks after the final freezing of changes, which was Tuesday.
