I am waiting for this too; i would like to upgrade to RedHat 6.0.
Remember that a lot of Linux systems use RedHat distrubution; 
the failure of Clean
to run on these machines (even executables created in a RedHat 5.2 don't
work in RedHat 6.0) cuts a lot of potential new users (at least my
students).

Incidentaly, what about Clean 2.0?
