Because of the space/bandwidth constraints? Or something else? I'm not
following...

So, the source kernels available for the current version of RHEL4 (i.e.
kernel-2.6.9-5.0.3.EL) should be used as a base version for patching with the
above cluster stuff? I'm guessing the patches will then bring that 
kernel (i.e.
the current shipping one) in line with the kernel all those (no longer
available) RPMS depended on? Or do we have to use the latest vanilla kernels
from kernel.org? Or it doesn't really matter because all 2.6.x kernels are OK?
