Using binary RPMS between different versions can be hazardous to your
systems stability. ;-)

I think you might be interested in the Fedora Legacy Project. Quoted
from the website...

"The goal of The Fedora Legacy Project is to work with the Linux
community to provide security and critical bug fix errata packages for
select End of Life Red Hat Linux and Fedora Core distributions. This
will allow for a longer effective life for those releases."
