See my comment re: them tracking 6.1 bits for security updates.

Those will probably do as well, and at least the v4l/dvb media_build
is going to be slightly newer code than even the 6.1 kernel bits, and
you can also use it to build the lirc_foo device drivers.

qt47 should be unnecessary now, there's now a stock-qt-4.6-compatible
qtwebkit package or similar in the epel repo that satisfies mythtv's
build/run-time dependencies. That's what I'm using for my own systems
right now, anyway (RHEL6.1 + private repo of mostly rpm fusion-based
packages).
