As Paul kindly pointed out to me, though, RHN has been, so you can download updates from there.
There are a couple of funny things I noticed in RHN. For the kernels, there's
kernel-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl kernel-smp-2.4.22-1.2040.nptl
but for kernel-unsupported, there's only
kernel-smp-unsupported-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-20.1.2024.2.1.nptl
Also, there appear to be some glitches in the web interface for RHN when dealing with packages built for multiple %{arch}. It took me a while to figure out how to convince it to give me the kernel for athlon.

There is no more kernel-unsupported. Since RHL is not "supported", this make sense.

Ugh, will have to track that down.

Kernel-unsupported went away.

Did it merge with the kernel package, or did the functionality go away too? What about the RHEL-3.0 kernels? Will they have the unsupported package, a merged version, or lost functionality?

It was merged; do a rpm -q --changelog on the 2.4.22-1.2040.nptl kernel and you'll see it mentioned. Given that RHL is not really a supported product anymore, it doesn't make sense to split out "unsupported" modules. The changelog still says that distinction is made to some degree, but I haven't dug into it any to see exactly how that distinction is made.

The modules that had been in the "unsupported" RPM are still kept in the same directory that they were when they were in the unsupported RPM (/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/unsupported) so that you can tell the modules that we are likely to put less effort into fixing; we still wanted to convey reasonable expectations based in the information that we used to get to having an "unsupported" RPM in the first place.
rpm -ql kernel will make it pretty obvious. :-)
