As I stated on the other thread, this was discussed to death 18 months ago and I
actually received assurances what has happened wouldn't happened. I am not
holding anybody to what they said, but it adds further doubt about the
sustainability of the distribution. Personally, I think it is better to lower
expectation, but not leave it open ended, e.g. CentOS 6 will no more than
another six months and 5.6 another 2 months. Perhaps we have been spoilt by the
snappiness of the releases in the past. Plus, rename to something that doesn't
suggest enterprise grade.
Anyway, I couldn't get Xen 4 +PVOPS kernel working with CentOS 5.5, so I have
temporarily moved my Xen server to Debian, although the plan was to move it back
when CentOS 6 came out, but I shall think of another plan.

The <delete> key works on everybody's keyboard.
