I think it would be workable.  All it needs is to pull all the changed
packages (not many) into an updates dir for RC1.  There are no major
changes between the version so nothing should break.  I'll see about doing
that tomorrow.

Although if you are in a hurry I suspect you could do it by getting the
new packages for whitebox-release, rhnlib, yum and up2date.  Once those
went on, up2date should be able to finish the job except for making sure
you get the new version of flex and force it on.  It has the same version
number but the one in RC1 has something wrong with it.

Yup!
