No. There is an x86_64 branch of FC4 and FE4

Are these packages main FC ones or ones external to the distro? If
they're FC ones, have you put the faults into the Bugzilla?

EOL is currently being discussed on the extras list. The FC ruling is
they support the previous one with anything before that being in the
