IMHO 7.3 was the pinacle of the server-only RH distro. I paid full price for a Pro disk set and manuals because I wanted to back RH as best I could. Since then the server that 7.3 is on has run non-stop (save for new kernels) for over 2 years. We have no plan on upgrading to any of the FC versions, they are not production level products. Upgrading to RHEL is an expense that can't be justified in that the 7.3 server is stable as a rock and there is no upgrade path from it to RHEL. The same goes for RH9 which we have installed. Though not a server-only distro it's possibly the best of all the old Pro series (and yes, we paid full price for it too) and is the acknoledged basis for the first RHEL version to come out. It's been stable and is as solid an OS as you can find. While we could upgrade to RHEL again the cost its not worth the cost to just replace it when the server has not had a single problem. If I were to have a voice in what FL supported I'd say the following: RH7.3, RH9 and FC -1 from currently supported version. If interest dries up on 7.3 or 9 then you make the call when it comes to that. The FC support would roll with how fast the new versions are pushed out but would allow the "older" FC versions to die off (remember they are development versions after all). Just my .02 from the outside. Whatever happens I appriciate all the support that FL has give us to maintain what we have.
