  There are versions of redhat that still use 1.0.4.

  The problem is that when you sell a distribution, the customers want
support for N years.  Software doesn't sit still, so they quickly become
users of legacy versions.

  OpenLDAP has the same issue.  See the Connexitor blog.  Redhat either
doesn't care, or doesn't have the resources to keep up to date with
thousands of open source packages.

  This is where systems like Debian have a *huge* win.
