Depends on the users... The people to whom I regularly supply Linux binaries (in-house applications) are still mostly using RHEL4, so I have to build on that. I expect they start moving to this bleeding-edge RHEL6 maybe a year from now, but there will still be RHEL4 and RHEL5 systems for years afterwards.

I have to agree here. RHEL6 and its advances are just-in-time for my clients, who like to be just off the bleeding edge. These clients are more used to a Solaris-style release model, where stability and hardware support outweighs many other features. Users much closer to the bleeding edge are welcome to use Fedora, Ubuntu, Gentoo, or anything else.
