FrontPage Extensions are EOL, no replacements planned. I'd speculate that
Microsoft chose to do this because of the sharepoint direction that they are
headed in, along with, I am sure, market share concerns.
In our hosting environment, I've EOL'd 'em too. I always enjoyed UNIX FP
better than Windows, however, we now run a Windows 2003 server specifically
for those customers who will not, or can not use more secure, less
proprietary alternatives.
Just my two cents.

I "had" it running on CentOS 3. I plan to never do it again. Server
updates, not sure which ones, would kill it. I'd have to go through the
whole convoluted install process again...
FrontPage will switch over to a "good" FTP mode easily, leaving only the
"extensions" to deal with. The most used would be the form. I simply do
a default install of a really good form script and provide the alternate
instructions to our users. I've not had request for any other "extensions".
RTR also has EOLs posted, which were unclear to me, but I didn't see
replacements listed for those products going into EOL, which was everything.
All things to be considered.
