Yes we did. CentOS 6 is currently building and they estimate it to be
ready in 4-6 weeks. I have RHEL-6 at work and should have a VM up and
running shortly. EPEL-6 and associated build infra should be finalised
shortly. When all that happens I'll be looking at pushing all the
packages back through the build system and seeing what we get out the
other side.
