My experience with support is that many open source projects were getting very tired of having to support old versions of 0.01 xyz app that shipped with Red Hat 7.3 because lots of people use it and hadnt updated to RHL9 or didnt want to put a non distro RPM of the latest and greatest. The OS groups would tell the user to upgrade or else, and the user would tell RH or complain on lists that RH is soooo behind the curve.
