*Troy puts two cents down on the table*

Other than being a mirror, I cannot say I've contributed much to Fedora 
Legacy over the past 6 months, so I do not think my opinion should count 
for much.  I'm just stating this so people know where Fermilab's policy is.
Fermilab officially ended support for Fermi Linux 7.3.x (based on RedHat 
7.3) on January 2005.  We currently have 1240 known 7.3.x users, but in 
our negotiations with our experiments, January 2005 was agreed upon, and 
no re-negotiations followed.
We will continue to be a mirror for the foreseeable future.

Thanks
Troy Dawson
