I know that the timing is always like this but the security update 
kernel-2.6.18-92.1.6.el5.src.rpm came out today...  I don't know if that 
counts as major enough though.

   433938 - CVE-2008-0598 kernel: linux x86_64 ia32 emulation leaks
     uninitialized data
   447389 - CVE-2008-2358 kernel: dccp: sanity check feature length
   451271 - CVE-2008-2729 kernel: [x86_64] The string instruction version
     didn't zero the output on exception.

Not listed as a 'bug fixed' but there is also a correction to gettimeofday 
to avoid time going backwards...

It sometimes feels like they *wait* for you to announce the final RC ;-)
