Agreed.

The only problem with savannah is that we lack access other than upload 
permission. For example, I uploaded some files to the wrong directory, 
and we can't get rid of them. It isn't a problem, except for the fact 
that it doesn't make the directory structure any clearer. It was a dumb 
mistake on my part, but being unable to fix it is annoying.

We do. However, I really don't believe Red Hat has much interest in 
supporting the old hardware that the Rule installer will give a new life 
to. I'm of the opinion that if Red Hat is interested, that's great. If 
not, well, we'll have to promote it ourselves. :) I'm not being negative, 
I just see these old machines as a support nightmare. If I were trying to 
generate income, I wouldn't want to have to provide support for i386 and 
i486 machines with 8 or 12Mb of RAM.

If Red Hat really had any interest in supporting these machines, they 
could just reduce the hard coded anaconda memory limits. However, doing 
so would cause failed installs, which might generate bad press. Stock 
holders hate bad press. :)

It's actually much less complex than anaconda. It just takes a ton of 
source code to get it built. :)
