I had no trouble rebuilding all the packages from:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/RHEMRG/SRPMS/
So I guess that you will be able to recompile those as well, and perhaps it won't be too difficult for CentOS project to do a rebuild.
I haven't looked at any of the packages to see what trademark material there is which would need to be removed by the CentOS project.
Are there dev guidelines on how to approach the trademark issue?

Sounds good :)

How sure are we that things also compare well with pkgs from upstream ?

I guess we can have a look for those as well. There are no real guidelines at this time, that might be something else worth considering.

Me? Not at all. Most packages are .noarch, so I doubt there are any subtle differences re upstream.
Is there a published protocol for doing binary comparisons with upstream?
