We (elrepo) worked closely with upstream during the beta of 6 to ensure we had a process that was ready to go as soon as 6 was released. At this point we have chosen not to do a mainline kernel for RHEL6. This has absolutely nothing to do with the way the RHEL6 kernel sources are packaged. The elrepo kernel-ml is a packaged mainline kernel (from kernel.org) and has nothing to do with the RHEL kernel. It has far more to do with the fact the distro kernel in 6 is a lot newer and thus there is currently less need for a packaged mainline kernel. We (Alan) already maintains 2 mainline kernels packaged for RHEL5 (the 2.6.35 long term support and 2.6.38 latest stable) and that represents a significant amount of work for one person, in addition to everything else he does. Adding another one or two kernel series for 6 is not a task to undertake lightly.
