I didn't think it would be. I posted the same info to CentOS-dev but 
haven't seen a response there, but I don't expect they will have a 
problem fixing it either.

The surprise to me is that RH doesn't seem to intend to respin 5.3. I 
would be pretty unhappy if I were paying for this stuff and effected, 
and unsettled if paying and not affected.
