That's correct, as well as CentOS5 and all other RHEL5 rebuilds.

It is mirrored, see for example

http://mirror.atrpms.net/

And Scientific Linux even mirrors ATrpms. But for supporting SL I
wouldn't really have to mirror it.

Yes, I wouldn't upgrade from Fedora to RHEL and vice versa. RHEL is
much smaller than Fedora, so you would keep some cruft forever. You
can try, of course, but I'd really suggest to backup all data and
reinstall from scratch.
