Hi Paul,

This was in a direct response to Johnny ;-) No worries, I put the context 
back so it's clear *why* I replied this. It's not that I am impatient for 
CentOS 6.0. In fact I switched to RHEL6.

Regardless, I do think CentOS 5.6 is much more important than CentOS 6.0. 
As there is a direct security impact to users.
