I believe other announcements have already been made that the above version of the kernel is only going to be available in SL 5.4 (for which alpha release is already available) and that they will wait until SL5.4 is released and the next errata kernel is available from redhat before back-porting it to the earlier SL5's. I am not aware of any compelling technical reason not to jump to the next release of SL5 once it comes out.
