Have you heard about the new update model for folks with premium support
contracts for RHEL 4?  Starting with RHEL 4 Update 5, they are changing
to calling it 4.5.0 (3 numbers).  For 18 months, they will provide
security updates to 4.5.0.  Every 6 months they will release an update,
i.e. 4.6.0, 4.7.0 and 4.8.0.  This allows customers to stay with a
single update for up to 18 months while receiving critical security
updates.

Contact your Red Hat sales team for more details...
