It's easy to convert between distros based on RH. The package manager is coincidental. You wouldn't have as smooth conversion between SL, Fedora, and Suse for example.

I wouldn't say the package manager is entirely coincidental; distro-sync and transaction support makes it easier than it would be if you did the equivalent operation using APT.
I'm pretty sure I could convert RHEL into Fedora and vice versa (probably not Suse though, it's too different), but I admit it's not going to be as easy as switching between EL distros.
