Couple of reasons.. 1. It is a stable, known quantity that uses solid components and closely mirrors the environment that a lot of people develop Asterisk on. It isn't going to drastically change, so those wishing to deploy it in production may look to RedHat 7.3 as a stable platform for that purpose. 2. 8.0 and 9.0 are really not "server" oriented distributions of RedHat. RedHat started using a lot of edge technology in the later versions of RedHat (newer Glibc, newer GCC) and as a result, I know very few people (and I know a lot in my Industry ;) that are deploying commercial, production servers on top of RH 8 and 9. It's great for the DeskTop, but not in the Data center. As with all things, this is based on my personal opinions, so your mileage may vary! ;) 3. I want to refine the RPMS a bit and do some updates and changes to the .specfiles. If I have to maintain 7.3, 8.0, 9.0 and FC1 releases, that is 3 times the build work. Work will proceed a lot more rapidly if I just have to do a weekly update for one platform. 4. I run Asterisk on top of RH 7.3 currently and it suited my needs. ;) 5. I haven't yet built my 8.0, 9.0 and Fedora Core 1 development environments for Vmware, although the SRPMS that I released -SHOULD- build on them without modifications. > For those who use RH or Fedora Core, RH9 is EOL in April and FC2 is > scheduled for release in April as well..
