CentOS is enterprise software ... if something works, we don't normally upgrade it UNLESS there is security issue or some other very compelling reason to upgrade. I haven't looked, but doesn't feodora 9 use yum 3.2 ... centos-5 uses yum-3.0. That in itself might be a good reason not to upgrade. The goals of CentOS and Fedora are quite different. CentOS is designed to install, configure, and use for 7 years. Our users expect that once configure and installed, they can develop scipts / programs / business intelligence related software with the distro, ans that their developed software will work until they decide to upgrade to a new MAJOR branch of CentOS. CentOS does not normally upgrade things JUST because there is a newer version available. This is especially true in the Extras and Base/Updates repos. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
