Yeah, that's what I took it to mean.  Quite a common thread of
conversation, on this list and others:

"Hey Gnome sux"
"What version you using?"
"Whatever comes with RH 6"
"Ah.  Upgrade..."

IIRC, RH released 6.0 (or was it 6.1) just before October Gnome, which
was by any measure a massive improvement on what was being shipped with
RH.
