Actually John (the one who set up the Whitebox project) has said nothing
of the kind.  Since he is doing this as part of his work at a library, his
interests are those of the library.  IIRC he has even stated that if they
like RHEL4 better they might just make a new Whitebox version for that,
which might mean he stops recompiling any updates for the current version
of Whitebox.

Of course Whitebox has nothing to do with Fedora, therefore is OT here.
