You don't mention which version of RHL you are using, but for Fedora
up2date has been updated to use YUM/APT as its backend:

  http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html

I imagine the folks doing the RHL legacy support will be doing a similar
thing (if they haven't already). In fact looking at 

  http://download.fedora.us/fedora/redhat/

It seems there is already APT / YUM support for 8.0 and 9.
