Answer: RHEL5 is not a replacement for a lifetime extended current Fedora.
Extended for how long? Fedora releases are supported for roughly 13 months (1 month after N+2 is released). Actually longer if you take into account the slips that inevitably hit during each release cycle.
So, what _exactly_ are you asking for?
Reread this thread, I am really getting tired of reiterating everything over and over again.
In a nutshell: * Lift acls from all discontinued Fedoras * Keep the buildinfrastructure alive. * Allow fedora maintainers to fix bugs in discontinued Fedoras.
Alternative: Officially extend Fedora life-times.
Alternative: Discontinue EPEL and replace it a full RHEL/CentOS derivative as part of Fedora.
