The release rate for the RedHat branded stuff will no longer be every 6
months or so.  It will be tied to a specific release of Enterprise
Server and Advanced server. Both of those are slated to have release
cycles around 2 years (sounds like M$) with the usual bug and security
fixes as needed. There will be no more "enhancement" upgrades from RHN.
