Just a note to say that that FC1 EOL is not end of this month - but
FC2-release-date + 2/3 months.

Also fedora-legacy does indicate the legacy-lifetime for FC1 as
approximately 1.5 years extra. (If I understand the FAQ correctly -
FC1 legacy support will be stopped when FC4 becomes EOL/legacy)

And the initial poster can stick with RHL7.3 for a while longer (if he
wishes to) with the fedora-legacy updates.
