There needs to be an end for 7.3, along with Fedora Core Releases 1  
and 2, but there are non-hobby people and organizations that need  
extended legacy support for RH9.

My recommendation would be to end support for RH7.3 concurrently with  
FC1 and FC2, and we can sunset RH9 when we EOL support for FC3. RH9  
users should be gently prodded to move on to RHEL, or to another  
linux distribution (CentOS for example).

Just my two cents...
