RedHat does a mass recompile > anyway even if its just to remove the fcXX release tag Actually, historically[1], no, Red Hat (its two words, not one) has NOT recompiled just to remove the tag. Take a look at a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0 GA tree some time, its littered with packages that have a .fc6 tag in them. :) But "RHEL does X" is indeed irrelevant either way. [1] doesn't mean a mass rebuild won't happen for RHEL6. Also doesn't mean that it will.
