Second that.  I'm not normally a big fan of replacing stock system 
packages with third-party ones, but I've never had a problem with MySQL 
AB's RPMs on CentOS.

A nice side benefit is that it gives you a path to MySQL 5.1, when 
you're ready to make that leap, without having to wait for CentOS 6.0.
