I use both, How can this be you say? I use a script, that I got of this
very list.  It takes all the Ximian packages that red-carpet manages and
puts those in the up2date skip list. so you can use up2date for non
desktop packages, and red-carpet for the Ximian packages.

Enjoy!

#!/bin/sh

EXCL=/var/tmp/exclude-list
CONF=/etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date

# Fixed list of packages to exclude from up2date
LIST="kernel*;*ximian*;"

[ -f $EXCL ] && rm -f $EXCL

echo -n "pkgSkipList=$LIST" > $EXCL

# Build a list of Ximian packages to exclude as well
rpm -qa | grep -- -ximian | sed -e 's/-[0-9].*//' | while read pkg
do
   echo -n "$pkg;" >> $EXCL
done
echo "" >> $EXCL

mv -f $CONF $CONF.old
grep -v "^pkgSkipList=" $CONF.old > $CONF
chmod 600 $CONF
cat $EXCL >> $CONF
rm -f $EXCL
