In an email I got from Redhat's Mark J Cox he listed end of life dates for errata support for some versions:

Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Psyche) December 31, 2003
Red Hat Linux 7.3 (Valhalla) December 31, 2003
Red Hat Linux 7.2 (Enigma) December 31, 2003
Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf) December 31, 2003
Red Hat Linux 7.0 (Guinness) March 31, 2003
Red Hat Linux 6.2 (Zoot) March 31, 2003

Which gives support lifetime of about 1.5 years for Redhat 7.3.

Well, I may be wrong, and I will eat my words if I am, but I think redhat 7.3 is the one version out of that list that is likely to have its support life extended past the announced date.
