IMHO, we should stick with RHL73.

When we get FC2 support, I suggest dropping FC1.  There will be WAY 
too many FC releases to take care of all of them, so I suggest just 
handling the latest.

Those users which have installed Fedora Core should have realized that 
it has much shorter support cycle, and they need to upgrade to newer 
releases of FC to stay current.
