Really? You saying that Fedora 7 came out before RHEL5? Looking at the calendar, it's a pretty simple Fedora Core 6, RHEL/CentOS 5, Fedora 7. I don't see that "long moved past", unless you like to run Rawhide, at which point, why are we talking about a stable LTS?
One word: updates! By the time RHEL 5 came out, even FC5 had a newer kernel (and several other packages).
Ummm, as I recall, there were some update kernels in FC5 and even FC6 that wouldn't boot on various hardware. Was it _really_ necessary to ship those after a reliable version was available?
