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.
