Inside the distribution itself maybe. But a lot of commercial applications

My Concern Posted Aug 31, 2006 19:58 UTC (Thu) by kmccarty (subscriber, #12085) [Link] But a lot of commercial applications still require openmotif and lesstiff will simply don't work. I doubt that openmotif will be removed from RHEL anytime soon ... Since Fedora is the staging ground for RHEL, I don't see how it would be possible for OpenMotif to remain in the next release of RHEL. Given that, commercial applications will adjust pretty fast, I suspect. (Those few of them whose authors were dumb enough to dynamically link them against libXm.so instead of statically linking Motif into their shipped binaries in the first place.)

RHEL can very well include software not in Fedora and has been doing that already. Example: All of RHEL Extras.
