I'm glad to know 6 has stepped back from the brink, then.  And I don't
consider having pvmove in /usr, as 5.x has it, to be at all a smart
thing to do.  I would expect to be able to manipulate /usr on its own
LVM partition (or move it onto one) without having to reboot to a rescue
CD or compile a special version with the binaries in more sensible
locations.  Guessing Red Hat realised this was silly, too, then.
