Of course "they" care. You sometimes don't have a choice.

You forget the times when RH's perl-DateManip was broken and mythtv
would not work w/o an updated one, right?

Wrt RHEL3/4 ATrpms' support is not yet official and is in final
testing stage. So while replacing "core" packages is truely no sin, I
would still be careful.

When ATrpms' support for RHEL is considered prime time there will be
an announce here. Until then bug reports are gladly accepted at
bugzilla.atrpms.net and the mailing lists :)
