Not at all, CentOS is well and alive.

Besides, the 6.0 version is due to be out in a couple of days...

That's good news, I just read the Distrowatch comment about it. Although I do think that Scientific Linux is still an interesting alternative, especially since I learned what it was designed for.
Centos also claims the the 6.1 release will follow after a few weeks after the 6.0 release. I'm glad they sorted things out.

Linux is all about choice. If you like the way one distro sets things up and what it includes, then that is your distro. Each distro has its following. If a distro doesn't live up to its claims, it loses popularity and the users move on, but, I won't disparage any well maintained distro, even if its derived from another distro. (Hmm, how many times can I use the word distro in one sentence? ... Now that was too many distros).
