I realise you are always chasing distros for the one with the latest packages, but putting PHP 5.1 in RHEL5 when 5.2 was already out and required by many apps was an interesting decision. We are looking seriously at the new LTS Ubuntu out at the end of April, which has 5.2.4, and will be supported for 5 years.
Have you considered using the CentOS Plus repository for some of these
things ?

Some bits from the RHWAS / app stack / webstack /
WhateverItsBeingCalledToday - will be in CentOSPlus for EL5 in the next
few days.
