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.
