There is now a SRPM for the kernel sources, eg,

However, I tried to patch the kernel using this and retired baffled from the field. I ended up having to patch a vanilla 2.6.8 kernel from kernel.org :-( I used to be able to patch the redhat sources just fine by hand from a kernel-source RPM, so I also agree things have gone backwards. I suggested before someone knock up a howto or some document describing the new system and how to emulate the old behaviours but AFAIK it is not in existence.
rpm -i kernel-2.6.8-1.541.src.rpm rpmbuild -bp --target noarch /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec
and the sourcecode will end up in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD
