Probably in the source RPM. :)
Red Hat has been known to patch their kernels. (Typically device
driver fixes or security fixes.)
Speaking of kernels, we really should look into having multiple
kernels in out next release. Red Hat doesn't do this yet, but
UltraPenguin does. In particular, both SMP and non-SMP kernels, and
an APM-enabled kernel for laptops. (A stock debian kernel will lock
up a laptop if you close the cover.)
