My mistake.  It seemed clear to me, so I assumed the changes had been made.

How about this: separate the second FAQ entry into two questions:


Q: What versions of Red Hat Linux will be supported, and for how long?

A: We are currently supporting Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 as these 
have reached their End-of-Life (EOL).

When Red Hat Linux 9 becomes EOL on April, 31 2004, we will start legacy 
support for it as well.

We will support these releases as long as there is community interest, but 
for at least another 1.5 years from their official Red Hat End of Life.

Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0 will be supported through at least June 31, 
2005.
Red Hat Linux 9 will be supported through at least October 31, 2005.


Q: What versions of Fedora Core will be supported, and for how long?

A: As Fedora Core releases reach their End-of-Life (EOL), we will provide 
support for them on a 1-2-3 and out policy, providing for roughly 1.5 years 
of update support for each release.


This way there will be no association of the 1-2-3-out policy with the Red 
Hat releases.
