My question here is who will do the work?  If you want to feed from RHEL 
updates, then you're basically only going to be doing backports, no new 
versions.  You're also only going to be fixing bugs that are deemed worthy 
through the RHEL process, which usually needs a paid customer reporting the 
problem, etc, etc...  They are different beasts and the work still has to be 
done to build packages, push them through a QA / update process, take bugs 
in, do QA, etc, etc, etc...
