Minor correction: 4.9 is released:
[root at localhost ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 4.9 (Final)
[root at localhost ~]#uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.9-100.EL #1 Fri Feb 18 01:29:32 EST 2011 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

SL has also just released their first alpha for their 4.9; see the SL lists for more information.

CentOS took the path of getting the updates for 4 and 5 done before 6; thus CentOS 4.9 is fully out there now.
