  New version?  In 3 days?!?!  More like 4.5 years.  Seriously, if you
follow the project goals, other than errata, the project is basically
done.
  Well, technically, a new release might be in order about 12 months
from now (less? when was RHEL3 released, anyhow...August I think), as
that's when RHEL4 will probably be released, but it'll very likely
depend on the resources of John Morris and others at the library. 
Maintaining one release maybe enough work to keep them busy.  Maybe. 
Who knows.  But it is unlikely that you will see a new release of WBEL
before the next release or RHEL as that is what it is based on and is
meant to track it as closely as possible.
