I've used it on a bunch of Red Hat boxes (and even a Mandrake or three) 
and it works awesome.

I suspect you'll never see it bundled with RHL unless they rework their 
revenue stream as apt-rpm is a threat to up2date.

I've also tried Ximian Red Carpet and for the time being recommend 
AVOIDING Ximian's tool as they repackage their own RPM's that can 
really interfere with distro upgrades.  Going from RHL 7.2 to 7.3 with 
Red Carpet previously installed was... interesting (and I don't say 
that in a good way).
