Well it is now undone. 

This morning I went through and un-prelinked all of our systems,
 marked prelink to be removed in our ks.cfg %packages,
 disabled prelinking on the systems,
  and, once kevin pushes the new rkhunter out - I will purge prelink
 from our systems.

So - hopefully we are just that little bit more better off.
