These maintenance updates will only be available for 2 to 3 months after the following release of Fedora. That means you'd get 6 to 9 months of updating for each release from RHN. After that you'll have to rely on 3rd parties. In any case RedHat explicitly states there will NOT be a Service Level Agreement attached to _ANY_ package updates for Fedora whether in the maintenance period or not. Check out http://fedora.redhat.com to make your own interpretation. Sean.
