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'.

cheers Chris
