Correct.  They have very simple instructions on how to set up your
machine to refer to their updates.

I just set up an RH7.3 machine to run some software that's only
certified for it (it won't run on RHL8/9/FC1 or FC2T1).  I used the

beautifully.  All I had to do was install their supplied YUM, then sit
back and wait.
