If you want Fedora features, IMHO, it's best to rebuild from the RHEL/CentOS kernel, patching in what you need -- sparringly -- from the Fedora kernels. Yes, this is involved.
It's not so much 'fedora' features I want as it is a later kernel rev. The www.linux1394.org site says that major changes were made in kernel 2.6.12, but I don't think it really works before 2.6.13 (and I'm not completely convinced there yet either...). But, the current FC4 at least seems much better than any earlier 2.6 version.
I am not sure if much of that stuff is going to make it into EL4 codebase. It _might_ help if you could perhaps attempt a backport and submit patches upstream.
Alternatively, if its possible to build some of this functionality into byte sized rpm's - we could perhaps build and host in CentOSPlus. I dont have the time to look at this at the moment, and I know Johnny and Pasi are pretty busy as well. Would someone like to contribute ?
