Yup. And since "Linux XP 2007" (to be based on FC6) is not yet exist you can conclude that you'll get more-or-less adequate support for whopping 6 month (or may be less).

Why more-or-less adequate ? It's easy: here you can find that intervals between updates will be few weeks - and if you need something more up-to-date you can use Gentoo. Sensible advice - but why Gentoo ? Most distributions out there offer more timely security updates and you are not forced to $20 to get them.

Basically they know foist off this garbage (it's indeed has more racket in press then any sensible Russian distributions) but it does not make it any less garbage...
