I agree.  I've been watching this list for updates on whats happening 
with the status of 5.6 and 6.0.  About all I do at this point is scan 
over the digest to see if there is anything that ISN"T completely 
irrelevant to the intent of the list.

Please take all non CentOS dev conversations elsewhere, and let those 
that are dev's concentrate on getting the work done rather than 
addressing unrelated fluff as KB has done here.  Their dev's not gossip 
columnists.

FWIW, yes I do consider my message unrelated, even though it's in 
support of the original intention of this list.
