CentOS - Oct 2009 - Way to go, CentOS team. Here's a hearty "thank you"!

Hello all,

To the CentOS developers, beta testers, and all who were involved in a 
small or major way in the release of CentOS 5.4...thank you. Ignoring the 
peer pressure, even though it was out a little later than you (and many of 
us) wanted, you got it RIGHT. *That* is what was important. I yum updated
from 5.3 to 5.4 with NO issues that I can speak of right now.

Thanks to you fine folks, and of course, the upstream vendor, for doing a 
fantastic job!

+1     I haven't upgraded my desktops yet, waiting for the dust to
clear and possible issues to be known to me, but probably will do so
this week.
