If I may interject here, since many will not understand one of the reasons why this is the case, a pointer to http://www.centos.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=66 Summary of the content of the above link: CentOS makes every effort to remove all protected trademarks from CentOS distribution packages/isos before ever distributing it publicly. If you want an alpha of an EL6 rebuild so desparately, traipse on over to scientificlinux.org and test 6rolling. CentOS does things differently, as is their right. Any and all metadiscussions about the GPL and closed betas should be sent to /dev/null, as that sort of metadiscussion will not be a productive use of anyone's time. Just go read the archives if you feel like you must know about that. However, it sounds pretty encouraging that the build is going so well, and that QA is on the ball. Good job, guys. Wish I had the time to help out like I'd like to.
