I don't know that you had any alternative: AFAICT, the active maintainers *all* care about older releases (RH73., RH9, FC1); I haven't seen a package QA'ed for FC2 before those since it rolled to Legacy. Dropping the releases which get actual love may feel cleaner, but I don't think you are going to get the folks who have been maintaining those older releases to switch to a newer FC: they will, as you point out, more likely switch away from Fedora altogether. Perhaps there are a group of volunteers who care about more recent FC releases, and who can take up the load.
