What I gathered from this thread is that CentOS actually _is_ a
community project, but the community driving it surely is not using
centos-devel as a communication medium.

Instead, i've read the forums are used for that purpose (though I
can't confirm or deny this assumption, as I have absolutely no time to
check forums of any kind). Additionally, I saw several replies to the
"ETA" question stating the packages are ready, but waiting on QA.

Though, I can't easily find info what QA means in CentOS, who is
involved in QA, how to help with QA...

Not an official release, but to help address the security issue
community member Alan Bartlett has made some pre-release kernels available:

Eh?
Who said "z-series?"

The OP - not that he was expecting it for CentOS, just pointing out our
shortcomings. :-P

I didn't take that to mean z-series because _everyone_ knows CentOS
doesn't have CentOS5 for them.

I did a little checking, and I don't see why Milan would be asking about
zSeries. OTOH, if this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Milan_Kerslager
is the same person, he doesn't even know where he works:-) so we
shouldn't be surprised at anything he asks.

With z-series they meant Extended Update Support (EUS). To avoid any
confusion I guess we should coin the term EUS too.
