There are the elrepo foks, who make a 3.x kernel for it. The thing is that
CentOS does its best to be binary compatible with RH and when you change
things, you risk breakage. The folks maintaining elrepo are responsible
types but have limited testing available.
Generally one uses CentOS in the same places you would use Debian stable,
mission critical type servers. Though the way Linux is going, many folks
just use it because they dislike some of the changes that have been made.
