I think you guys will always be playing catchup if you don't release.
Independence is runned by a small man team that needs to get bigger if Indy
is to make a big impact.  A release is needed so you can attract developers
to make the time between redhats release and independence smaller.  Just my
two cents though I think it would be cool to base it off 6.2
