My crystal ball, fed on pure speculation based on the nexus between 
Fedora and EL suggests EL6 might not be far off, and that it would be 
based on Fedora 9 which is currently in beta.

The cycle as I recall it:
RHAS 2.1 based on RHL 7.2
RHEL3 FC1? or was it RHL 9? That one I'm not sure on
RHEL4 FC3
RHEL5 FC6 (beta together)
RHEL6 F9? What do _you_ think?
