Why do you want to start a new flame?? Now, now, be nice. It's nice to know if another open source knowledge has achieved a goal. It also provides an early testing platform for people who want to run some behavior comparisons. For example, the format of the "kickstart" file has changed in RHEL 6, and yum no longer installs both i386 and x86_64 components by default. It's a lot easier to get a handle on such changes if you can test them out early, even if CentOS 6 isn't available yet.
