Sheesh! The way they're gloating there must not be many of us WBer's 
left. As I'm a stubborn sort, I am pondering setting up my own build 
machines (which I could then use as yum repo, put on the Internet as 
repos, etc). I have the horse power, and possibly the bandwidth. But, 
I'm under time constraints currently. (i.e. this would *not* be on my 
official company ToDo list :-)

Since I haven't done much in that direction, I've lately just downloaded 
updated src rpm's from RedHat, and "rpmbuild --rebuild" on them (but 
have not done so on a "kernel" yet) ...
