Can you say exactly when in early April the tree will be moved? I have a number of installations that need to continue running CentOS 5 so I'd like to do a final update before the tree moves.

may I suggest building your own mirror well before then, update it with rsync or lftp weekly (or even daily), from http://mirrors.xmission.com/centos/5 (pick your favorite mirror to make the mirror from), and replace your CentOS-xxx.repo files with ones that point to your private repo

I use a command like this to mirror everything and incrementally update, you could change the last centos to centos/5 if you want to just fetch and update that...

   lftp -c 'open ftp://mirrors.sonic.net && lcd /mirrors && mirror
   --continue --verbose=1 -x SRPMS centos'

(yes, you do need to find a ftp mirror, i had issues mirroring from an http server).
