So you would have an alpha release from which you could do the transition. Everything (or mostly everything) else in FC6 after that point is newer than the stuff you'd find in RHEL.

No, it wouldn't as stuff probably would require newer versions of base packages than are available in RHEL. I do not think that what you suggest is even remotely possible given the development cycles of Fedora and the ones of Red Hat Enterprise. And I don't think it is necessary. Ralph
