I suggest that FLP create time-lines for which people can expect
support. RH 7.x (x>=1) came out in 2001, right? How long does the
community want to support it?
It is quite clear how long RH 7.3 and 9 will be supported for, see the
FAQ: http://www.fedoralegacy.org/about/faq.php While it is not a
specific date, I do not see that as a problem. It will be supported as
long as there is community support.
In the end that is what the FL project requires to succeed, community
support. However, it just isn't a very exciting job to do backporting
and testing of legacy software.
For those of you wanting to see packages make it out of -testing, please
see the QA Testing document. It does quite a good job of describing the
QA process.
