You do know that SL5 is a port of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
which came out in parallel with Fedora Core 6 and updates like
this are up to Red Hat not Scientific Linux ?

RHEL5 + SL5 exist to provide stability over a longer time frame than 
Fedora. It is not reasonable to expect the same bleeding edge
functionality.
