And I think it makes the most sense, as the Z-Streams/the Extended 
Update Support (EUS) (e.g. update support for 5.1 after 5.2 is out) are 
only done for certain releases, only for a shorter lifespan and only if 
you pay extra for them iirc. Hence the bulk of users always will be on 
the latest release of a RHEL family (RHEL4, RHEL5).
