I think this was asked earlier with 5.x. Scientific Linux is based off
the upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Upgrading from 3.x to 4.x
requires a LOT of other package rebuilds and updates.. so it would be
less likely to occur. For people wanting to use it, I would recommend
using the seperate rpms from remi or local binaries.
