Hello,
Many of you might have noticed that RedHat just released a new security 
kernel for RHEL 5.  Many of you might ask "is this going to delay the 
release of SL 5.4?"  It is a legitimate question.  The answer is, no.

We are still planning on releasing SL 5.4 tomorrow as planned.

There are too many dependencies that go along with a kernel for us to 
feel good about putting in a new kernel and getting the release out in a 
timely manner.

Thanks
Troy
