Seth,

No, I'm not using RH9, however, a lot of folks are... and they paid for it.

Part of the obligation of the Legacy Support team is to support folks 
for a period. Although it would be nice for RH to support RH9 directly, 
folks have signed up within the Fedora Legacy camp to do this.

'nuff said.

RH9 is on the table, just waiting from someone to pronounce it dead, 
agreed... we should support it for security fixes only.

Dead-end 7.3 and earlier, but smooth out the x-sition from RH9 to FC or 
other distro's...

Just my thoughts...
