All of those apply to 5.6 ( where apply implies that they link into 5.6 code; which literally just got finalised in the last day or so ).

Having said that, I've done a fair bit of work on the updates and hope to get them released into the 5.5/updates tree either later today or tomorrow. It might be a case of first hosting them into a testing repo, publicly so more people can confirm that deep linking and inherited issues are no longer a 'breaker'. But that testing will need to be fairly short and sweet, keep an eye on centos-devel for more info

My solution at least for the kernel, was to get the src.rpm from RedHat

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/kernel-2.6.18-238.5.1.el5.src.rpm

and build the kernel myself.

CentOS staff is working now hard full time for 5.6 release, so since January there has not been any update.
