I'm not sure it's entirely dead, though it's closer than I suggested. Here's the notice from its website:
"The current model for supporting maintenance distributions is being re-examined. In the meantime, we are unable to extend support to older Fedora Core releases as we had planned. As of now, Fedora Core 4 and earlier distributions are no longer being maintained."
You are correct though that Fedora is not shutting down. I mention this because there seem to be people on this list that do not understand the difference. :-(
It's always the case that what seems clear to some is unclear to me.

(that thread ... also carrying over into January is quite clear. The FedoraLegacy project is shutting down (as in, they are doing no more updates for any FC/RH distro past, present, or future). They are not even sure if they will maintain the currently built content anywhere.

btw, if you're particularly keen to stat at about the RHL 7.3 level then CentOS 2.1 is close, CentOS 3 is close to FC1 (I think) and CentOS 4 is a good match for FC3.
Note, "good match" is less than "perfect match." Making it work may require some skill:-)
Those are the correct FC versions as a basis for the CentOS releases, yes.
