Yes, but if he has a specific need to support Exchange 2007, he can rebuild the Samba 4 and Evolution packages that will ship in Fedora 10 (and are available now in the beta) on his RHEL 5.x systems.  Considering that I don't believe any other major distributions are shipping Samba 4, rebuilding for RHEL 5.x would be much easier than repackaging them for something else.

Also, I was recommending that he use Fedora on the desktop, so he probably wouldn't have to do any work at all, as Fedora 10 will be out long before he'd deploy.  Besides, he doesn't need Samba 4 on his servers for what he's looking to do.

In all fairness, Redhat hasn't announced RHEL6 yet. RHEL 5.3 was just
announced however, but that isn't going to be based of Fedora 10+
