Packaging of RHEL 3 has been pretty easy with less than half a dozen 
exceptions.  Stripping all the RHAT references may be the bigger 
challenge.

There are also projects out there that seek to have a similar market as 
RHEL but completely community developed/supported.

This is very exciting.  Those who don't like/want the support offerings 
of RHAT will have several viable RPM-based alternatives soon.  Choice 
is a good thing.
