Yes, I actually reported that as a bug in RHEL5 but was told to read the 
release notes - list of the missing ones in this bug report:

Sounds good.  So just curious, what will be your philosophy in updating 
the EL5 rpms vs say the FC6 rpms?  Do you think you will just rebuild 
the same versions at the same time?  Or maybe update the FC6 rpm a 
week/month before the EL5 rpm (assuming the update is new features, not 
security)?
