 I was curious, why was /proc/ide removed and was it moved to another 
 directory to obtain ide drivers information?

 From the upstream vendor's deployment guide[0]: Later versions of the 
2.6 kernel have made the /proc/ide/ and /proc/pci/ directories obsolete. 
The /proc/ide/ file system is now superseded by files in sysfs; to 
retrieve information on PCI devices, use lspci instead. For more 
information on sysfs or lspci, refer to their respective man pages. 
Therefore you should be able to find the same information from /sys 
somewhere - where exactly is left as an exercise to the reader.

  That doesn't work on Debian/Ubuntu because runlevels 2-5 are the same.
 
 ?!?!?! 2 isn't much used, except as a set of steps. But 3 and 5 are the
 same in Debian/Ubuntu? That's not like *any* other version of *Nix.

Debian's configuration (at least wrt 3 and 5 being aliases for the same 
runlevel) is very similar to Slackware and Gentoo. The number and use of 
runlevels, traditionally, have not been defined (although the LSB has tried to 
address this) and different conventions have been used in various distributions 
(and, move widely, unices) - the use of 7 runlevels out of a possible 10 also 
appears to be more convention than any hard-and-fast rule. That said the 
convention used by CentOS does appear to be the most common (and closest to the 
LSB's definition) in use by Linux distros today.

On System V and Solaris runlevel 5 is halt so you might get a nasty surprise if 
you were expecting X11!

 How about the rest of you? What are you looking forward to in CentOS 6
 when it is released?
 
For me the big wins with CentOS 6 should be SSSD to simplify and centralise (on 
the machine) network authentication and (hopefully!) graphics drivers which 
work with our hardware out-of-the box.
