Author support of older RH distros

Hi,

When redhat announced, that Redhat will be split into RH-Entreprise and Fedora,
I heard something about the fact that the fedora community still supports RH7.x
Distros.

Does anybody know

0) whether this is true ?
1) where one gets information about this support (for example about fixed
security holes)
2) whether fedora will continue to support those old RH distros, though redhat
itself stoped the support at 01.01.2004 ?? where do I get updated packages and
information ??

Thanks Boris

It is absolutely true. (But RH7.0 and 7.1 are not supported - I think as
the upgrade to at least 7.2 has always been a good idea for these releases.)

Information are spreaded through the announcement lists. See
http://www.fedora.us/.
