Which Fedora 7 exactly?

The one originally released with kernel 2.6.21-1.3194 or the current one 
with 2.6.22.4-65?

An obvious problem with Fedora is that while it is being maintained,
packages there change rapidly. So in order to get bug fixes, you'll have
to get new features (and potentially more bugs as well).

And after a period which is not so long, it stops being maintained at
all, and you have no source for bugfixes.
