CentOS - Mar 2010 - Release 6?

Since 5.5 is now out from Red Hat and most likely our amazing CentOS
team has already jumped on that, is there any word on Release 6?  IIRC
it's already a year out of date (base was supposed to be Fedora 10),
so I have to wonder.

I didn't see anything jump out at me on the Red Hat site, so - anyone?

Thanks.

Has RedHat even released RHEL6?

I vaguely recollect that RH mentioned pushing out the (total) life
cycles of a release from 5 to 7 years, or 7 to 10 or something like
that.


Their lifecycle info is here:

http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/

But there's no mention of any changes on there...

Current RHEL life cycle is in fact 7 years.
Interesting, I remember hearing just the opposite - that they're about 
to reduce the life cycle from 7 to 5 years, since allegedly no one uses 
the same EL major release for more than 5 years. I mean, can you imagine 
anyone who used RHEL 2.1 up until less than a year ago?

Anyway, it's nice to see so many people have dumped Fedora for pretty 
much the same reason as I have, more than a year ago in favour of 
CentOS. And this was after almost two years of discontent with Fedora.

Afaik it's based on Fedora 12.
That's what you can read from bugzilla and look at the kernel versions 
the talk about.
eg: kernel-2.6.32-14.el6
