Watch for one gotcha when upgrading workstations: kdnetwork-kmail becomes kdepim-kmail and the RPMs don't know this. KMail's mailbox upgrade option didn't work for me, but renaming ~/Mail to ~/.Mail before running the new KMail did.

Other than that, add the contribs to your RPM sources and you'll never look back. Software running out of your ears. MPlayer that even does the shrek2.com trailer in WMV no worries. Groupware, high-quality mouse themes, ruby-SDL, bucketloads of games, a Konqueror with "Bookmark tabs as folder" in the menus and rampant thumbnailing-with-info, whatever takes your fancy.
