I'm wondering if there is something needful that breaks whenI disable Avahi .
Probably not for 99% of RHEL/SL users. On servers in particular, avahi is worse than an annoyance.
Be warned that the update to RHEL-5.3 [re-]installs and enables avahi, apparently because the update to cups-libs requires avahi-compat-libdns_sd, which requires avahi. Ugh.
