You would have to have an auditctl that matched it.

I think they are pretty well separated. The rules shipped in rhel5 I think are 
current with the requirements levied on RHEL5. RHEL6 just got a STIG and I 
have not yet reviewed it to see if they stuck to the agreement we had. But the 
rules that would apply to RHEL6 would be shipped on RHEL6. I had not planned 
to separate them in svn.
