I just want to know when an official version of CentOS is released that has the meltdown/spectre mitigations in it so I can make a new server with *that* version. Is there a notification list or something that will tell me that?

Thanks in advance.

It already is. Just run yum update to get up to date.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
