Incorrect guess.  We're currently using it on our systems at work running
6.2.  It is not available for 6.1.

Yup - it has been posted on multiple mailing lists.  Here's the link on
Red Hat's web site:  http://www.redhat.com/apps/support/errata/

This is where it gets dicey.  After Dec. 31, 2003, up2date will no
longer get you updates for 8.0 so you will have to go to 8.1 to continue
to get security updates.

To add fuel to the fire, 8.0 is currently not an option for many
customers because of some application incompatibilities (Apache 2.0
being the issue for some).
