I can easily think of a few.  4.9 and 6.0 are two of those few.

Again, I'll note that SL is just now releasing the second beta of 5.6 this 
Friday.  Not the final SL 5.6.  Not to try to make SL look bad in any way, but 
to highlight that the triple-threat of 6.0, 5.6, and 4.9 is/was hard on both 
projects.  

CentOS chose to do 5.6 and 4.9 before 6.0; CentOS is later with 6.0.  SL chose 
to do 6.0 first; they had 6.0 out first, and 4.9 followed, and 5.6 is not yet 
out.  I don't consider a beta or alpha or even an RC release as being 'out' 
either.

And again I'm not being critical of either project; both do a fantastic job.  
They had and have different priorities, and with a CentOS 5.6 release behind us 
we now see the effect of those different priorities.
