6.1 CentOS packages are already building, as are 5.7 (in parallel).
Do not mix building and re-compiling packages. 5.7 packages are all
already known and there was no real show stoppers to re-compile them.
6.1 packages are different story, and I am sure there was several show
stoppers that delayed it. Anyhow, it has been only two weeks from 6.0
release, and original projection for 6.0->6.1 was 1 month.
I am wondering how LiveCD release is going, there are several people
interested in it.
