Fedora and mainstream redhat compatibility

Hi all,

I'm a bit confused about the direction the 'new', Redhat-sponsored 
Fedora linux is taking, compared to the 'old' Fedora linux.

The 'old' Fedora produced third party RPMS for use with the production 
Redhat releases (Redhat 9 etc). I package a lot of RPM's myself, and had 
just started to contribute to Fedora.

The 'new' Fedora is talking about being a seperate OS.

Will I still be able to use Fedora as a source of RPMS to use with the 
'standard' Redhat releases? Or do we now need yet another RPM repository 
to fill this need?


Thanks.
