The 'Red Hat Linux Project' is replaced by 'The Fedora Project'.  The
distributions have transitioned from 'Red Hat' to 'Fedora Core'.  The
release schedule indicates that the name of the next release will be called
'Fedora Core 1' (http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/schedule/).  The
Fedora Project home page indicates that "The project will produce time-based
releases of Fedora Core . . ." which also supports the naming convention.
There is no mention of changing the code name 'Severn'.

I would suspect that RH will still support existing RH distributions as they
have always done.  Although, I would also suspect that they will try their
best to push the public off to Fedora.  I have never noticed them to be very
timely though.  They have been pretty good with security patches but general
updates really seem to lag.

I would agree with this!
