I typically move to the next distro release before its actually been
released, usually just after it hits beta for any of my "important"
systems, while other less critical systems have been running said next
distro release for some time already -- I've got machines that have
been running RHEL6 and Fedora 13 for quite some time now. So my plans
to move to RHEL6 this summer shouldn't be taken to say anything about
the RHEL6 release schedule. I'll definitely be moving to something
newer than the public beta by then (newer bits are almost constantly
being queued up internally), but I can't say whether that would be the
RHEL6 GA bits or just something post-beta, pre-GA. (How's that for
diplomatic run-around?...) :)

Wish I had time to keep 'em up-to-date. I *might* revive that work for
RHEL6, since it should theoretically require a lot less work to keep
up-to-date...
