I think the salient points are:
- RedHat distros today don't self host.
If you are refering to CentOS-2.1 or CentOS-3 I'd agree. But on CentOS-4 and CentOS-5 that is simply not true. I guess you are using a small window onto what really is a distro to mean a snapshot in time.
As I said before, CentOS exists and that should prove that the distro is self hosting in its entireity. There are pkgs with a .fc6. tag - but look at their builddates and times. They were built completely within the distro host. No fedora6 was used to build anything in centos-5.
