RedHat used to have a developers channel that was $60/yr for AS w/o any updates just for this reason.  I still have my 2.1 developers suscription, but I can't see that option anymore.  Shame, they are doing all the right things, the wrong way.  Pull the developers support, pulling the -devel packages.  They've made it hard to use RHEL for anyone beyond drop in a binary and go have coffee.  Shooting the people that make RHEL work in the real world is going to drive more and more to WBEL solutions.
