The dilemna is for the CentOS developper team. Following the decision 
last January, it would be natural that the priority would be to release 
5.7, as there are "millions" of existing systems needing to be updated, 
rather than releasing 6.1, where very few systems are already in 
production, and 6.1 updates are backported to 6.0.

So I fear that 6.1 will be postponed...
