If you are that impatient, you could always use the fasttrack repo;

There is a new channel provided by the upstream provider called fastrack.

This channel will have RPMS that are going to be included in the normal
update sets (3-4 times per year), but released once a week.  These RPMS
will normally be bugfix or enhancement updates and not Security updates.

Accordingly, CentOS has created a fasttrack (note the spelling difference,
it is intentional) repo.  This repo will track the upstream fastrack channel.

If you would like to use the FastTrack repo for CentOS-4, copy the file
CentOS-fasttrack.repo into your /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory and it will
be enabled.

See this upstream mailing list post for more info on fastrack:
