gives one full glibc support? Is this basically the same "upgrade/addition" that would come if I installed 6.0? If not, why not, and should I then wait for 6.0?
No, it is not the same. This package was mainly intended for people who wish to run Oracle on 5.3. It contains the glibc2 libraries that Red Hat uses. If you apply this package to 5.3, you may run into trouble when upgrading to 6.0.
