Sounds reasonable. Just one thing: Don't use RedHat_9 or FedoraCore_2
but RHL9 and FC2. That way we will avoid any trademark issue.

If you have things in a slinky version, make sure it would work for
other slinky versions before throwing it into RHL9, otherwise it should
stay with the slinky version it belongs to.
