FC4, browsers, and dependency hell

FC4 isn't nearing EOL, is it?

I'm two releases behind with Epiphany, despite frequent yum updates; and I
can't upgrade without getting into dependency hell, which (as sad
experience has taught me) I'm not competent to escape from.

I lost Galeon to dependency hell years ago, and still miss it. But "yum
install galeon" does nothing.

Iiuc, dependency hell in general is a problem of distro and repos; iow,
nobody has put Galeon, or the last couple of releases of Epiphany, into an
FC4 repo -- or at least into any of the default ones.

Is this just lack of FC4 developer interest in those browsers?

Or is there some policy affecting the situation? 

If either has been deprecated, I haven't heard it, let alone the reasons
for it.
