I agree with Karanbir here ... and if / when we build it ... it will probably be because the Enterprise version is released, for EL3 and EL4, available only to paying customers, and is different than the FDS version.
And that's an excellent approach. I'm sure you're seeing what happens if and when there is SRPM for RHDS -- if ever. It could be likely be you'll never see one, because the future 1.x series will just be FDS -- bit for bit.
In case it isn't clear to many, this is not like RHEL which is a 18-month released based on 2-3 revisions of RHL/FC. This is a project-product added to the distro, and is the same that runs on either series.
But according to the FAQ, they don't even have the codebase working with autoconf/automate yet, so I'd say it'll be a bit before you can even rebuild FDS from SRPM directly. So any RHEL SRPM will be behind that (if offered at all -- again, probably not if it's 0 different).
