I guess those are the Sun proprietary ones.  In that case presumably you
have a support contract to be entitled to use them.  Can't you call on
that?

Well, if you don't find anything that needs fixing, and are entitled to
use those rpms, don't bother changing anything.  The latest Oracle
version will have more fixes, but maybe not the same ones.

Not a simple answer, but:  I suspect you couldn't simply install mine
because of dependencies/file clashes, but you might be able to force it
or make a dummy rpm to satisfy the dependencies.  (I don't have rpms of
arco and inspect, and probably can't distribute a full arco one, so
you'd have to keep those.)  The binaries in the rpm should be
compatible, and I assume the Sun rpms also install into /opt/sge.
