I was going to say you were wrong but found a link (see below) that confirms RHEL4 is in “Extended Life” support through 2015.   Its Production life ended last February which was what I thought was its EOL date.   We did migrate off our last RHEL4 system about mid-year last year.

https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata/

It’s only been a couple of years since we finally got rid of our last RH 9 or worse yet a couple of old RH 7.3 systems inherited when I got here 8 years ago.   It wouldn’t surprise me to find many places are still running similar old systems.

Sometimes it is difficult to move legacy applications because they simply don’t understand newer libraries and layouts.   Convincing management that is a good reason to dump the legacy stuff is often a challenge especially if the maker of that application is long since gone and it requires training folks how to use something entirely new.

What is really maddening to me is how often we do move 90% of things off to newer platforms but have to keep the old ones around for that last 10%.   I’ve seen this with those old RedHat systems, BSD,  HP-UX and (OMG) AS-400 since I’ve been here.   Usually you have to wait for the old hardware to die at which point the reason for running the application seems to get outweighed by the cost of repairs.

That's scary!
RedHat extended the life of RHEL 4 by request and it's too long in the tooth even fully patched for exposure to interwebs.
