I've been doing the same.  I put them at www.eslinuxgroup.com/wbel.html=20
I have all of the errat listed as well as a couple of add-on packages.=20
One of the add-ons is yum, with our yumified server listed.  Our
bandwidth is limited, so once WBEL takes off (and I really think it
will), we won't be able to offer it, but I'm sure we will have many
yumified servers by then.
