There was 20 days between RHEL 4 update 4 and CentOS 4.4.
However, it was a 3.5 month turnaround between RHEL 5 beta2 and this release. Assuming they are keeping up, I'd say between 20 days and 3.5 months for them to sync with tomorrow's final release
EDIT: After doing some more digging around, there was a 15 day turnaround from RHEL4.0 and CentOS 4.0. We're probably looking at a similar timeframe, as they probably spent a good bit of those 3.5 months de-RedHat-ing the beta, so most of that work is done now

...after RedHat releases theirs? RHEL5 is supposed to come out March 14, and I'm wondering when to expect CentOS 5.
ps.
OSNews editors might NOT want to use RHEL logo for CentOS articles..since the project has already taken great pains to distinguish themselves from RH.
