Currently ATrpms supports RH7.3, RH8.0, RH9, FC1, FC2, FC3, FC4, FC5
and RHEL3 and RHEL4. This means that it will takes some time to get to
dropping FC3 ;)

But the sane thing to do is to upgrade FC3 as soon as possible, maybe
right to FC5, as FC3 is out of Red Hat's hands now. Fedora Legacy is
doing all they can to keep up with security issues, but that's no
match to what the Red Hat supported FC versions do.

My personal pet is to have good RHEL4 support, so mythboxes can last a
couple of years w/o upgrades. But newer hardware needs newer kernel,
e.g. one needs to convince the v4l developers to support kernel 2.6.9.
