You and I would probably be willing to compile version $CURRENT_STABLE
ourselves if needed, but then again, a dedicated CentOS 6 server would
likely be fine with us as well. I presume that Stuart has an auditor
breathing down his neck and itching to tick "current OS release of
chosen standard distribs, only reputable / vendor repos configured,
updates installed in regular intervals, no sources used or compilers
installed, paid-support-request- and sue-for-damages forms prefilled in
the drawer" checkboxes.

Kind regards,
