[CentOS] Any update on 5.6 / 6?

Let's see. 7 weeks after a RHEL release, we have:

1. When is it going to be out

2. If they had donations, it would be out faster

3. The team spends needless energy trying to cool
things down on the lists, delaying the release
if only for a bit, and it frustrates them

And we know that you can expect the release
from the upstream vendor to take 4-8 weeks
before it hits the CentOS repository.

And we're well within that window with
plenty of time to go before it expires
(not to mention a major holiday in that window,
and TWO releases going on at once), and the
CentOS boards clearly say that we're close to the
release of 5.6...it should be seeded very soon to the
mirrors.

It would be like at Christmas, in early December...
mom and dad haven't given us any presents yet.
Maybe if we got them more money, we'd get the
presents faster. If they needed money, they'd ask
for it.

Can't we just enjoy the anticipation for once?
Please?
