Oh, I can think of a few reasons. Compatibility with ancient legacy
and/or binary-only software, support contract requirements, or just the
ability to laugh off any lawsuit threats from SCO (6.2 shipped with a
2.2.14 kernel, and the latest update brings it up to 2.2.24). The last
one seems like the most fun, although 7.0 used a 2.2 kernel, too.

I probably have a couple copies in my car.

yes. It appears that RedHat 6.2 was released on March 27, 2000.
