Indeed. There's a couple of other projects that do this too (though white box seems to the most popular and I can't be arsed finding the URLs for others). Since the SRPMS for RHEL updates are also available (as they should be), and various yum / apt repositories serve rebuilt binaries of them, whitebox might be a good choice for organizations who want to install a box and keep it running for (up to) five years without ever having to upgrade anything.
