They are saying 2-4 weeks after the Red Hat point release, and that the four weeks may slip to six weeks. For the sake of argument, just assume eight weeks out (on the outside) and don't worry about it. Nothing like armchair generals trying to tell those in the trenches how they *should* do their job. -- RonB -- Using CentOS 5.3
