Since CentOS is based on RHEL, the newest RHEL is RHEL 5, RHEL 5 is
based on FC6, and this option wasn't enabled in Fedora until F11 (hey, I
can chain logic :-) ), I'm not suprised it isn't enabled in CentOS.

I believe CentOS tries to stay as close to RHEL as possible, so I
wouldn't expect them to change this unless Red Hat does.  I am kind of
suprised that Red Hat doesn't have this enabled though; there is a bug
request to have this changed:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=469753

Another bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=497013

it is stated that this will not change for RHEL 5.  Maybe this will
change for RHEL 6 (since it is now enabled in F11).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
