That only shows your lack of knowledge of RHEL. RHEL 3.0, released about 18 months ago, is already at Update 4 - think of them as Service Packs. For all the included software, later features have been backported to the RHEL 3.0 version. You get best of both worlds - newer features AND backward compatibility. For example, RHEL 3.0 Apache is still called 2.0.46, and DSOs built for 2.0.46 work without recompilation, but features/bug fixes of upto 2.0.51 are included in the current updated version (httpd-2.0.46-44.ent). The best part of it is that RHEL 3.0 is GUARANTEED to be supported for the next five years - even if they release RHEL 4.0 this year or next.
