This would also mean that if I were to deploy on say 1000 multi processor
machines today, I'm 2-3 years from seeing the 2.6 kernel in a RHEL release. 
Since I doubt it will be in RHEL 4 (too new), so RHEL 5 is my option.  But
them I'm forced to upgrade if I deploy on RHEL 3 today.  That isn't really 5
years of support.  I'm still holding out for a 2.6 kernel for RHEL 3.  :D
