CentOS-5.x has an EOL data of March 31, 2014. I deploy new 5.x servers all the time. 3 years is half of the useful lifetime of the distribution. But, if people have to make a decision and deploy within the new 2 weeks, then I would not be waiting for 6.0 to be released during that time. We might have a tree with installable net images by then.
