Anyway, I would like to take this opportunity to offer a side trip with
this thread.  What do people need/want in RHEL6?

I would absoloutly *love* to see bcfg2 integration with RHEL6.

In addition, we'd really like a "barebones server" install, where there are no desktop components installed by default. This is difficult to do in rhel5. For example, this is our %packages section for our install below. Many of these are installed for LSB compliance, but things like cups, bluetooth, etc, are not needed on a server, and having to manually remove these packages is annoying. If we do not remove them, then our servers remain "out of date" in RHN, for security/enhancement errata for packages we don't use and don't want to schedule an update for.
