And I can be quite asleep. As I read it again with a slightly clearer
state of mind, 3.0.9 is exempt from the "obsolete" making.
So, 3.0.9 will be OK till 2010 -- sorry for the confusion and the
incorrect messsage I sent earlier.
It also means that SL3.0.9 (plain SL) and CentOS are equivalent in this
respect -- either one is OK.
