For some parts of my repo I had also been plaing with this idea, but I
would recommend against it. Next thing you know is that you will have

kde-redhat-common
kde-redhat-evolution
kde-redhat-openoffice
kde-redhat-kde
kde-redhat-nonkde

repos. I think the segmentation into stability classes should be
OK. And probably most kde-redhat users do want to use a newer
evolution, or not?
