Although I would not recommend upgrading to RHL 7.3 or 9 since neither is
supported by Red Hat, the Fedora Legacy project (fedoralegacy.org) is still
providing updates for both RHL 7.3 and 9. They will most likely continue
to do so as long as there is enough interest by volunteers to create the
errata releases. Due to lack of interest they have discontinued support
for anything older than 7.3 and RHL 8.0.
