You will have to ask. Actually, I'd say that 8.0 is where they really 
tended to be non-RedHat compatible, because the libs naming scheme 
changed, and they don't provide dependencies with the names of the 
equivalent Redhat packages (which I happen to prefer, actually).

Still, there is enough there to make the claim that they are RedHat 
compatible, but I am not sure if it warrants 100% as it says on the webpage.
