"Several months ago, the Fedora Board (in consultation with Red Hat Engineering) decided to increase the length of time that Fedora releases are supported, in terms of updates. This decision was retroactively applied to Fedora Core 5, allowing it to remain a fully maintained release for several months longer than it would have under the old policy. Fedora Core 5 will reach its end of life for updates on Friday June 29th, 2007."

On the one hand, I agree. I'm writing this on a Fedora Core 5.
On the other hand, I'll bet the vast majority of people using Fedora Core 5, like myself, didn't pay one red cent for it. In that case, if we want a maintained version, we ought to contribute something, like perhaps maintaining it ourselves.
If no one's willing to work on it, then it won't get maintained.
