Ask the yum team I guess? Red Hat supplied so that might have answered my
question. See below.

The real reason for the updates is because we are having a security audit
done on our network and we must have a few issues fixed. All of the RH9
machines we have are out of date for a few things but mainly sendmail is the
issue. Right now for RH9 the newest that I can find for sendmail is
8.12.8-9.90. Between 8.12.9 and 8.12.10 there are a few critical security
issues that have been fixed. So, where are the RPMs for RH9.0? I know that
Fedora even has a later version, 8.12.11 of sendmail but that won't work
with RH9.

So, that goes back to my original question. Is Redhat releasing new updated
RPMs? Is it dead?
