Will FedoraCore1-built binaries run on all Fedora systems?

I need to figure out an answer to this pretty soon.  I'd also like to get 
some official word from Redhat on this matter--where can I get this?

I also have the same questions on the RHEL 3.x and 4.x series.  That is, 
can one RHEL binary server many RHEL platforms?
