Great.  I would also hate to see it dropped.  But, unfortunately, I am
currently, as I type, upgrading my only RH 8.0 server to RH 9...

I will try to test them, but unfortunately I can't do much.  I'll hopefully
soon no longer have a RH 8.0 server.  I'll try to create a RH 8.0 test
environment, but this will really only allow me to test that they install/run
and not give them a proper usability test.

> If no one shows up, I guess 8.0 is pretty much dead and can be dropped.

I think most people who still use RH 8.0 do so on a server environment.
Most of them won't be able to test emacs/flim, xchat, or openoffice since
these are typically not installed on a server.  So don't expect much
testing of these (though maybe you will get lucky).  The apache and
wu-ftpd packages should draw some interest!
