YDL off the cutting edge

For anyone from TerraSoft on the list, will security updates and the
like be backported to YDL 3.0.1 or has support for that version
essentially stopped?
I have an Old World machine (Wallstreet PowerBook) and I'm try to
decide whether to stick with YDL (which I'd prefer) or switch to
another distribution.
Alternatively I can hold out until YDL 4.1 (or 4.0.1) is released on
CD if it will include a kernel that will run on an Old World machine
(my understanding--please correct me if I'm wrong--is that 4.0 does
not but that it is relatively easy to include this). I realize that
TerraSoft has dropped official support for Old World machines but I
can handle the setup myself if I can at least boot the installer from
the CD using the kernel and ramdisk supplied. Will that be possible
with the next release? Is there a tentative timeframe yet for this?
Thanks,
Ray
