We're talking about a complete distribution build, something that takes 
Redhat well over a few weeks to get together, test and release. I am 
sure you will allow us atleast a few days ( we dont do anywhere near the 
level of testing that Redhat would - but we still find issues and 
breakages, even in their release's ).

As has already been pointed out by some of the other people, security 
patches and releases are sent out within a few hours in most cases.

In this case - most of the patches and fixes released by Redhat on zero 
day along with 4U2 were indeed pushed out from our end, the only ones 
held back were pkgs that in turn had dep's on pkgs from the 4.2 tree. 
The pkg you mentioned, MySQL is in 4.2.

There is always things people can do to help out, drop into 
#centos-devel on irc.freenode.net and we can talk.
