Even if Red Hat doesn't issue those patches officialy, they will be there. Look at the stuff on freshrpms.net. I would be surprized if noone setup updates for psyche, using the SRPMS and either Red Hat's AS/ES/WS SRPMS for extra patches, or the patches from the main developers.
Hell, I've been doing similar for quiet some time. You should have seen my vahalla box before moved to psyche as a base. Even now, my psyche boxes are not even close to Red Hat supportable, with custom kernels, XF86-4.3, DRI snapshots, mozilla-1.3, and many non Red Hat packages.
Any resonably compitent sysadmin is going to test updates before a system wide roll out. The extra 10-30 minutes to create/build the update is negligable compared to the days of testing the update would require if if it was from Red Hat.

I'll concur here, I'm constalty grabbing RawHide SRPM packages and recompiling them for my RH 8.0 and RH 7.3 boxes to fix issues I might have with certain packages. (i.e. vsftpd and 2 GB file size limitation with the RH 7.3 package, imap 2001 and lack of rolling UID's in RH 8.0). Granted, the new "features" they sometimes include in these packages can put other wrenches in the works, but it's nothing a competant SysAdmin couldn't fix.
I think as long as we have at least Raw Hide to fall back on, or the SRPM for the errata, we'll be fine.
