No, MySQL++ will not be in RHEL-6 but in EPEL-6 (fedora community repo
for Enterprise Linux = RHEL, CentOS and other clones)
For Now :
Fedora 12 = 3.0.9
Fedora 13 = 3.0.9
EPEL-5 = 3.0.9
And
Rawhide = 3.1.0 (will be Fedora 14)
EPEL-6 = 3.0.9 but I could update as this repo in not really open, only
available for test with RHEL-6 Beta.
Some packages have switch from EPEL-5 to RHEL-6. This is one of the
goals of Fedora. Don't know if this could happen for MySQL++. Probably
only if a master piece of software requires it, or on a huge demand from
consumers.

I will say : for the distro life ;)
Which is not an issue for Fedora (only about 1 year)
Which could be more difficult for RHEL.
For example EPEL-5 is going to stay with 3.0.9 (except if 3.1.1 restore
the 3.0.9 ABI). This will imply backporting patches, if needed, to this
version. This will be mandatory if a security issue were discovered.
In some (very rare) case, it could be decide to upgrade to a new version
which breaks ABI. p.e. libevent update in (RHEL) 5.5 which impact
memcached (in EPEL) and some others

I could understand this. But remember than most of libraries don't use
"sources" version for "soname" one.
