Yes, and from time to time I still get people asking me for this or that 
package for one of these.

A lot of people are still running a server on FC1, FC2 or FC3. Those 
people I urge to upgrade to RHEL or CentOS asap and in the meantime I 
teach them to use rpmbuild --define "dist fc2" to rebuild for their 
distribution.

Running an unsupported Fedora is asking for trouble.

Kind regards,
