OK, I'll leave them in for the moment.

I consider it too old because of its upstream support status, but also because
broadly we commit to supporting N and N-1 (and usually N+1) where N is the
most recent release of the distribution. Fedora 13 would be N-4.
Not having Fedora 13 (or any other distro or distro version, for that matter)
in this list does not mean that you can't continue to use it, nor does it
necessarily mean that we won't take patches to fix support for it should it
break.
Cheers,
Paul
