I'm still running RH9 on my backend but I am by far the minority here 
and I will simply find a package or upgrade from source if needed to 
keep my system up to date.  I've long given up applying changes to it 
other than myth.  I've even got my own patched ivtv 4.x version that 
works on my old kernel with CC VBI support that I won't touch now that 
it is working.  :)
