Redhat 9, and critical systems

[dave at math.mit.edu (David Backeberg)]

So I've seen two posts in the last 24 hours asking about help with Redhat 
9. My question to these people and the list in general is:
are people deploying new systems with Redhat 9 these days, and if so, have 
they located a free, prompt source of updates, being that Redhat dropped 
official support for RH9 in April?

There's the Fedora project, there's SUSE, there's debian, gentoo, 
Mandrake, etc. They all still have free updates, and current versions 
don't have such nasty license restrictions as Redhat.

Am I missing something that makes RH9 so attractive to people? Or does 
everybody just have old media hanging around that they keep using?
