Think I have all of the srpms for U3, gotta get on building them.  But
I'll probably do what I did for U1 and just spit em out as normal errata
unless there is a must-have new feature in the installer.  Although I
think there are some new SATA drivers in this new kernel so if a lot of
folks are getting stuck I'd be open to the idea of doing a full respin.  
Also considering just how freaking HUGE U3 is, might go ahead and respin
to make fresh installs go easier.

Longer term I kinda suspect that around the U4 timeframe RH will be 
refocusing to RHEL4 and RHEL3 will be getting fewer new features, settling 
into an errata only mode.  When that happens I'd expect to slow respinning 
down from the current every other Update to something like every third or 
fourth one.
