This is true. In FC6 and prior releases if you enabled kde-redhat you
basically replaced you entire KDE stack from fedora with the one from
kde-redhat. In that sense yes they are exclusive. However, I would still say
they are also compatible in the sense once you do this (at least for me) I
didn't have any compatibility problems.
Of course with F7 everything is different, since Rex's work is now the
mainstream version. I'm not even sure I've ever got a package from kde-redhat
on F7 (I think the testing/unstable repos contain some stuff ?) ... but for
sure its certainly still 'compatible'.
