I take it you didn't run CIPE vpn's among any of those 30 machines or you'd still be on FC1.
Actually, Fedora Core 2 wasn't the only distro that dropped it. There were a lot of issues with CIPE and kernel 2.6 -- many that were not solved in the first 6 months of 2.6's release, by the time Fedora Core 2 came out. The first half-way reliable patches were for 2.6.6, which was a month after about Fedora Core 2 came out (with 2.6.5).
Yes, I know the history - I just have a knee-jerk reaction when someone says they upgrade frequently and never have problems. It really just means they weren't using any of the features that changed or went away.
Fedora Core 2 was definitely a "revolutionary" .0, and things break, and Fedora Core 3 was more of an "evolutionary" .1 based on changes done in Fedora Core 2. So what you're seeing is _no_different_ than typical Red Hat Linux .0 release before. People today are still bitching about the GLibC 2.0 change of Red Hat Linux 5.0, and the forced ANSI C++ compliance with the adoption of GCC 2.96/3.0 in Red Hat Linux 7.
Except that it still isn't fixed now that it easily could be. If you want CIPE in Fedora >1 or Centos 4, you have to recompile the kernel to make it work. OpenVPN is probably better these days but that's not included either and unlike a lot of other packages, for this one you have to coordinate any changes across locations.
