Hi Dennis,

See wikipedia :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS

I noticed that the release date of 6.2 was updated on this page at least 
as fast as 6.2 was released !
FWIW, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 were released faster, and 4.9 as fast. But I 
agree, it was a very pleasant surprise to see 6.2 released as fast, 
after the big delay of 6.0 and 6.1.

Could the developpers explain what change in the process to achieve such 
a quick release (after a mail a few weeks ago of Johnny explaining how 
difficult it was now...) ?

And yes, I agree, Johnny and Karanbir are not that ugly after all !

Thanks,
Alain
