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.
