Well, for me RHL9 is just a misnumbered 8.1 (see the numbering of it's
beta). So 7.3 and 9 make sense.

But the real question is: Who will do the work? If there are enough
volunteers, then 8.0 should be supported. If not, 8.0 *cannot* be
supported. I volunteer for helping with QA for 7.3, and I would like to
learn, so that I'm able to help with buildimg as well.
