AFAIK, the RHLP only existed for about a month or two (at least external
to Red Hat) before it was decided to merge with the Fedora Linux
project. The first public announcement of a change of direction with RHL
to become a more open project rather than product was with the "Severn"
beta 9.093 I'd say.

See the Severn announcement:

First mention of merge with Fedora Linux:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2003-September/msg00137.html
The RHL distribution history might also be interesting along with many
other pages on the Fedora Project site:
