Shortly after our favorite upstream vendor publishes it? I don't see the relevance though. If he needs to update CentOS 5, update it to SL 6 or CentOS 6. Why wait for RHE 7 to update? It's going to be major cluster futz with the the switch tu systemd from init scripts, with "/bin" being migrated to "/usr/bin", and the other major changes. It will be much simpler, and much, much safer, to update to CentOS 6 or SL 6 first!
