I know they are shutting down fedora LEGACY, which provided update support for older versions of FC and RHL, but this is the first I've heard Fedora itself is shutting down. They are already planning Fedora 7. Oh, ok, they are dropping 'core' and 'extras', now it will be just 'fedora'. See https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-January/msg00091.html
