We are getting fairly close to having a tree ready to send to QA. The goal for sending the tree is 10 May 2011. It might not happen before then, but it should happen within a week of that date. Disclaimer: We may have something that fails to work and throws a monkey wrench in the plans ... but it is getting close. I would expect once it is in QA that we can release in 2-4 weeks (maximum) from that point. But the real question is, do you want to use EL6. I personally would only roll out testing stuff on EL 6 at this point (be it SL 6.0, Oracle UBL 6.0, RHEL 6.0, etc.). CentOS 5 still has 3 years of normal support before its retirement date, and is much more mature at this point (IMHO).
