Dag, with all respect - polarizing doesn't help! RHEL5u6 is released 5  
weeks ago (+2).

The actual process is slowing down caused by the concurrent appearance  
of RHEL4u9,
RHEL5u6 and RHEL6. Right, one could argument that the problem lies

Centos != RHEL and therefore this implies a time-window between update
availability. Using this immanent fact against the team is  
counterproductive.
