Amen! I'm very much hoping that 5.3 will allow me to run CentOS on my
laptop so that I can get away from the half-implemented features and
"Let's see what last night's update broke!" issues with Fedora. CentOS
works just fine on my desktop.

The problem for everyone is that security updates that come along during
those "weeks (or months)" either get delayed until the CentOS release
comes or else somebody (i.e., an already overworked developer) has to
make the extra effort to make the patch work in the current release.
