That doesn't help people deploying today.  Remember that RHEL releases
come out every couple of years, so we're looking at at least another
year before RHEL (and thus CentOS) 6 comes out.  That's a *good* thing,
remember, from an actual supportability perspective in the enterprise. 
And that includes schools.

Thus, K12LTSP 5.0EL is far and away the better choice than K12LTSP 6.0.
