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.
