I'm not saying we should do a complete sync, just that we should sync up what 
makes sense once RedHat has them stable.  For instance, the difference 
between rh42 and rh50 includes a lot of the basic utilities being upgraded 
to the latest version.  *That* is what I want to be able to pull out of the 
next versions of RedHat and put back into SEUL.
