Based on my experience with Red Hat, I would wait one rev, say 6.1, so
the
glibc migration problems are mostly resolved. Maybe SuSE is learning
from Red Hat's mistakes, and is managing the situation appropriately.

The really nice thing about Free Source is that SuSE can learn
_everything_ about Red Hat's mistakes and "adapt, adopt, and improve"
the corrections to their own needs :-)
