I'll translate this as

"I use rh9, still"

Is that a good translation?
  

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.

My recommendation would be to end support for RH7.3 concurrently with  
FC1 and FC2, and we can sunset RH9 when we EOL support for FC3. RH9  
users should be gently prodded to move on to RHEL, or to another  
linux distribution (CentOS for example).
    

when fc6 comes out rh9 users will have had almost 4 years to move to
another distro or something newer.


rh9 is in a persistent vegetative state. It's time to pull the plug.
  

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...

Tim
