Are some packages redhat ones ?
some fedora-epel ?
and eg ffmpeg etc are RPM Fusion

If redhat aren't willing to update, you might be screwed. EPEL still 
might take convincing and reject (for those, would we use an internal 
lib instead to work around the problem ?, or disable that functionality 
in the packages, with a notes to say why ?).

Hopefully not to much problems within RPM Fusions EL6 packages and 
people wanting to stick with a tried and true version ?
