    Any word on whether Red Hat Enterprise 6 will be based on this release or Fedora 9?

    Crickets ...

    I'm getting the impression it will more likely be f10 or possibly even f11 (or ... aaargh). RHEL 6 is taking FOREVER to get moving. I bet it has something to do with readiness of the Fedora code base to be beat into shape for for prime time being somewhere between "poor" and "damn poor" for the string of Fedoras from 4 through 9.
