Probably because it's the old "Fedora Linux" repository with add-on packages for RH9. Recall that "Fedora Linux" is different from the "Fedora Core" linux distro that is what I think you mean when you said "fedora." Fedora Core Fedora Linux Fedora Project Fedora Extras Fedora Legacy Redhat Linux 9 ...are all different...see http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/terminology.html and the old site link at the bottom of www.fedora.us.
