I'm a CentOS user. The delay of the CentOS 5.6 release (it finally
came out last week) has been a wakeup call for me:

Several months with no updates (security or otherwise) doesn't give me
a warm fuzzy feeling.

Having read through a number of recent centos-devel list threads, it
seems like the project has some serious (and hopefully surmountable)
problems.
