Mirroring 6.0 and 6x seems to work for me.

IMHO 6.0 (etc) makes it easier for those of us with local mirrors since we 
can have a locally modified yum.repos.d/ file which points at the right 
place using $releasever in the baseurl rather than needing to modify it at 
each release.

For sl5 (and earlier I assume) we did this but needed to add symlinks by 
hand for each release.
