pardon my insensitivity but your question - at least at this point is
posted to the wrong message base and your selfishness bothers me a bit.

RH 9 mail list is...
<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list>

Fedora legacy list is...
<https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list>

I'm sorry that you feel that Fedora is a step backward - don't use it.

Many Windows users understand that there are problems with Windows and
accept them because they realize that they are powerless to do anything
about them.

Many Linux users understand that to make forward progress, that they use
software that is often a work in progress and there are many ways to
participate in the work in progress, if nothing else by using it.
Obviously, you can participate by helping others set it up and
configure, you can help write documentation etc.

You can solve all of your problems with sustainability and support by
buying Red Hat Advanced Workstation.
