Yes, I think so.

What do you mean with support? RH offers installation support, but no
support for customization.

I just installed it for some seconds, because it's 1.4.5.3-2 and it's
configuration is done with m4 macros. If someone wants to use it he/she
have to edit all this RH specific wmconfig entries, then maybe all
programs will appear in the menu. I don't know any further details,
because I only can suggest to use a self compiled AS of newer date and do
everything by hand. It's more easy and less annoying. I don't think that
you should write more than a short note in the FAQ regarding RH's version.
