I'm not telling you to get a 'better distro' or to upgrade. I was  
just asking myself why you don't upgrade. There can be good reasons  
for that. On the other hand I wish people would stop complaining  
about not getting any upgrades anymore (I'm talking about people in  
general) when Fedora clearly states it has a short lifecycle. Fedora  
is for running the latest and greatest and Fedora Legacy is here to  
help people out a little longer after Red Hat stops releasing updates.

Nobody is forcing them or FC1/FC2 users to change their OS.

Sure. But why don't they step in and join Fedora Legacy now? If there  
would a lot of community involvement maybe FL could support releases  
longer.
