Nothing worse than having the distro force you into a perpetual upgrade cycle. Then if you *want* to upgrade to the latest version (eg, 4 to 5, or 5 to 6 when released), you can, and more importantly, you can do it when *you* want, not when the distro withdraws support. CentOS is a great desktop distro :)
