EPEL should help minimize that.

Plus, ATrpms, Dag and other repos have RHEL packages.
My myth systems are currently F7, but I've decided in a year or so when
F9 hits (thus rendering F7 obsolete) I'm going to do some much needed
hardware upgrades to my backend and re-install with CentOS. Hopefully by
that time MythTV 0.21 will be stable and I will stick with it and get
off the SVN trunk, then many long years of stable Myth with no random
update package breaking something..... or maybe its all a pipe dream. ;-)
