Doesn't CentOS, Scientific Linux, and others do this already don't they?
Why does somoeone else try to do the same?
Also there was a legacy project to support Fedora releases further and something went wrong?, why go there and ask.
As it is, many of us users run Fedora because
1) we enjoy running latest software, get security updates, test new kernels, ...etc for the fun of it!
2) for looking at what will be in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
3) have been acustomed to the Red Hat way of doing things and to do that one runs Fedora
I would fall into the category of (1) and also #3. I had previously run Mandrake, but then it went to Mandriva and they have made bad decisions firing key people that made one use that distro in the first place. I also like Slax and some other versions of Linux as well.
