We are currently expecting to have both Fedora 10, Centos 6 32bit, and CentOS 6 > 64bit compatible frameworks available by Q4/2015.

You can contribute to the Emulation team by testing the CentOS 64bit changes > on a 11.0-CURRENT system. Please report any bug you may encounter, or any > oddity, via bugzilla.
