Parent article: Fedora Core to drop openmotif

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.)
