True enough. When those features actually work, they'll turn up in
RHELn/CentOSn. Meanwhile, I'm getting set to prepare some systems
(recycled older gear) for relatively untrained users, and I'll be
happy to rely on the longer cycle of CentOS. Those folks won't give a
damn about GCC4 and the latest and greatest GNOME/KDE. IceWm will be
their window manager, since those beasts are too slow on less capable
hardware.
Besaides, for those who can't wait, I'm sure that some enterprising
member of the community will craft RPMs for some of the new features
for use on CentOS4.
