Well, it's not supposed to be a testing version...

And it looks like we're going to go to a slightly longer lifespan with
Fedora 7 anyway -- Fedora 7 should be supported until one month after
Fedora 9 comes out, and that should be supported until one month after
Fedora 11 comes out. Other releases will have similar lifespans
(thirteen months, if Fedora releases happen on time).

Whether FC5 or FC6 will get this support is unclear:

If you want a longer lifespan, then CentOS should be it in all but name.

Not enough people were actually doing the bug-fix work.

Hope this helps,
