Talking with a big Red Hat representative for Europe, he stated that Red Hat will stop providing updates for the current FCx 1-2 months before the official release of the next coming FCx+1. At my point of view, this could mean a further push to drive current FCx or FCx-1 installations to migrate either to RHEL -----> or to CentOS :-)). The reason that he gave me was that they need all the attention and man power to focus on the forthcoming FCx+1. Although this is something I haven't seen it in written yet on the official site, I consider it as an internal information, as my employer company is Red Hat Advanced Partner.

For people who want a stable desktop but with some packages upgraded to newer versions, what is the recommended method? Find an FC4 SRPM and rebuild it? Get the source and build that?
You want to try FC3 src.rpm's first - they are more likely to get you a better-fit.
But sometimes its just not that simple, eg. Evolution. To get the latest / greatest - you are looking to, pretty much, rebuild the entire gnome platform and move to 2.10
( you could do the garnome way if you like... not much fun, if its a simple drop in install you want )
I realize I asked a kind of ridiculous question - but was curious if there were a good answer - seems not. Especially as FC3 goes EOL in a few months...
