One installs and works in Fedora, which is always a few kernels ahead
and is going to get grossly further ahead behind the not-yet-announced
CentOS 6.0 publication, and will evolve over the next 3 years while
our favorite upstream vendor keeps 6.0 locked down for business
stability.

For such leading edge features not yet integrated into typical kernel
and system support, you'll have far more success advancing and getting
it tested than working inside the fundamentlaly 4 year old
architecture of the available CentOS 5.5.
